For me it’s just a way to get from point A to point B.

When I was younger, I always thought if I worked my way into a strong salary I would buy a nice vehicle for myself.

Now I have zero interest in doing that. I make a good living and drive a paid off POS. The prices are outlandish. So is the insurance (thanks Gordon et al), and a lot of the features aren’t necessary.

My wife has a 3 year old nice SUV, but it’s only because our other one was totaled during Covid hysteria. Those were weird times to look for a used vehicle.
