The thing that really freaked me out when I came to America was the people
who basically do this. Actually, 4 years is more common: as soon as they've
paid off one car they buy another. And since they only expect to own the
car 4 years, they don't maintain it.

I dunno. Maybe Steve Jobs knows his market better than I thought. If you
think of a computer as a car, many people really do that.

And they wonder why they're always in debt.
