Why get rid of a car you like? Modernity isn’t that exciting, most of the new tech they’re putting in cars is silly anyway, and there are certain benefits to knowing a car very very well. Getting from a fully parking lot to one with empty spaces I once got my car through a gap that had about 4 inches to spare, only reason I even tried it is I’d already owned the car 7 years and wore it like a second skin, I knew I had the room on the passenger side without a spotter and without having to get out to look, I could navigate that car through a crowd just like I navigate me. Then there’s the money issue even if you can afford to replace your car all the time why bother? If you respect preventative maintenance you can keep a car going for 2 or 3 payments equivalent in repair bills a year, I don’t care how much money you have there are better ways to spend 10 car payments a year than on a car, if nothing else you can take a decent vacation with that money.
Not to mention that none of my rigs cost more than about $40 a year for tabs. A late model rig could cost you 4-5 times as much.
That’s probably two months worth of gas right there.
