Because I buy additional real estate, not cars.

All it took me to sell car #2 was moving downtown and the associated parking issues.

Takes much time to keep one spot available, much less two. My buklding charges more than $500/mo for one spot, so its street parking for me.

Because I'm already paying insurance, maintenance, repairs and gas on 3 of them.

Easy, if I want a truck, I trade in my suv and drive a truck.

I hate cars, all kinds. So I’m not owning one, and don’t need something that goes really fast to compensate for inadequacies.

So there’s no need for a 2nd vehicle, unless a golf cart qualifies, and that’s cause I have bad feet and can’t walk the course anymore.

I'm so glad I'm not the only guy who does this. I browse Autotrader daily for no reason at all.

You could put that 30-60k in an index fund and actually have something of value after your 96 months loan repayment would have been completed. Quit spending stupidly like a poor.

This is dumb advice. Invest, you don't know what will happen to you in the future and how much it will cost you or your family.

I have a cheap used Nissan Sentra I bought to drive to work if you want to count that as a second car.

Me being a boring AF point-a-to-point-b kind of guy helps.

I can appreciate a nice car, but at the end of the day, it’s an expensive collection of metal plastic and glass that depreciates rapidly and requires even more money for maintenance and operation.

I'm just not into vehicles like I was when I was younger. They are simply a tool to me these days. I hope my 2017 lasts me another 7 years.

Many will tell you to live simple, and that they drive 20yr old 200,000mi Honda while wearing a new Submariner on the wrist.

I'm exactly the same. Had a Corvette Grand Sport during the 90s and it just became another car to me.

The Sub is a better choice than a second or third car that you really don't need.

No one needs a Rolex either. If the driver gets enjoyment out of it, I'd say it's fine.
