I was going to speak on something else this week, but I wanted to speak on an article that just made me shake my head. The article was published back in November of 2013 and is titled “Five Reasons to Buy a New Car” by Ravi Kumarr at groundreport.com.

I am concerned for the people who read this article and over 13,544 have, up from about 3,000 when I first discovered it. I am concerned because some will take its advice. Enough people already have the misguided notion that they “need” a new car without an article like this that does not serve up any verifiable facts. Everyday more and more people find themselves in car trouble. And, I don’t mean mechanical car problems either. They are underwater on their new car. I see articles indicating this more and more.

Articles like this are doing little more than leading animals to the slaughter.
