>>1977642PS your car is not a money sink.
A car is one of the best values for money that almost anyone can buy, unless they live in NY City (and even then...)
- Excellent emergency shelter, protection from wind, rain and cold.
- Fast, long-range, on-demand transport that takes you anywhere roads go (and some places they don't)
- Store and haul supplies and cargo
Yeah sure in aggregate, automobiles emit more CO2 than any other source (completely blowing aviation out of the water). And cars are a depreciating asset so you can't just buy and hodl. But there are few machines in the modern world more practically useful to a person than a car. And I say this as someone who hates driving and has made multiple major life decisions aimed at reducing car-dependence.
