I've never appreciated the value of any kind of vehicle the way most people do. To me a vehicle is simply a method of travel or a tool to perform a task. I don't consider them an extension of my personality nor any type of contributor to my self worth, self esteem or rank in society. They are money pits and honestly if there was a way to do without one where I live I'd prefer to never own one. I want whatever fits my needs best for the lowest price including insurance and taxes and that requires minimal maintenance costs.
I am not a materialistic person. Possessions are a burdon to me so I own as few things as possible that aren't wealth investments that historically increase in value. Vehicles do not meet that criteria for me.
