>>1689754The cost of the car is an obvious, implied one time expense (unless you're a poorfag who needs to finance), not a recurring cost, just like the cost of a bike is never included in any of the "Bikes are literally free transportation" posts. My car doesn't cost me "$X/month in depreciation", it cost me $18,000 one day three years ago. "Depreciation" isn't a real-world consideration unless you're thinking about resale value or tax writeoffs.
