Its all about cost of ownership including maintenance, insurance & fuel on a monthly or yearly basis.

I used to have a sales job that had me driving 30k miles a year. Ive spent more time than most thinking about this than most.

Driving a shitbox for my daily driver was by far the best option but now that I barely drive, I lease a economy car so I avoid all surprise repairs and maintenance. $309mo is affordable and i don’t embarrass my son 😜
