Weird. I’ve seen a noticeable amount of temporary tags near me. Like every 8th car

It’s because Memorial Day was last week and there’s typically shitloads of dealer special offers around that time

People may still be buying used cars

There tends to be waves of new car buyers. Which means that when that waves cars start to fail on them in how ever so many years they buy in another wave.

There's a wave every 3 and 5 years near me. Its very noticeable. Outside of that you basically see zero new cars on the road.

I wonder if there were a bunch of Honda hybrids. I had a headgasket leak and I had to sell before it showed up on the onboard computer
