## Resource

We all have a dream car we hope to own one day, or maybe you already do. People admire them, but one thing that rarely gets talked about is the true cost of ownership. In this episode, Kalasinga and Vanilla talk about high-performance cars that are expensive to maintain, the hidden complexity behind routine servicing, the risks of poorly modified 4x4 suspension setups and death wobble, why old luxury cars can quickly drain your wallet, and what happens when major components in hybrids fail over time. This is the side of car ownership most people don’t talk about.
