My parents kept trying to convince me to buy an SUV over the past 10 years. I'd been driving a 2 door Toyota from 1995. It still drives, so why get a new one? Is my thought.
Well they got really intense about it so last year I experimented with bike communicating and now I drive a bicycle everywhere :sicko-biker:
This is the way. I can understand wanting to buy like, new curtains or something, but a car is such a huge purchase I will never understand anyone who buys one when the one they have is perfectly fine.
There's loads and loads of fake calculations done, I imagine, mostly by ad agencies about how it's cheaper as if the single biggest value drop a car ever experiences isn't literally being the first to own it and drive it.
I guess the exceptions are if your vehicle needs change (live in the suburbs and have kids? I see a minivan in your future) or if your car has broken down to the point that it threatens to be a money pit.

you'd still be off better buying used. Nothing depreciates car value like driving it off the lot.
My in-laws always comment on how old our cars are. Weird questions like “are you holding onto this car out of sentimental value?”
No. It gets us around and we don’t have car payments. Just because you get a new $45k SUV every third year doesn’t mean we should.
Just tell them " i Dont need that to Impress , I already have charakter "
Build something like this and make literally everyone unhappy with your choices
Don't tell me that's a human powered tractor monstrosity. That's amazing and I choose to believe it was built out of spite.
It's a bicycle! Well, quintcycle I guess.
I've translated some excerpts in the post that I did on it , just didn't wanna toot my own horn too much.
It's not explicitly stated that he did it out of spite but I'd wager if you take all available information here, spite is pretty much the motivator
