My wife says I'm the only guy in America who paid more for his refigerator than he did for his car. I drive a 1987 Toyota Camry sedan that just turned over 200K miles and there's a Sub Zero in the kitchen.
She drives a 1987 Camry wagon.
Financially speaking cars are a loser so we don't allocate funds to them unnecessarily.
Dream car would be free to own and operate.

I still have both of these cars. I spend maybe $500/year per car for repairs and maintenance. The Camry sedan now has 275,000 miles on it and it doesn't burn any oil. I haven't made a car payment in 20 years. Of course, these cars aren't exciting, don't turn heads, and fall short on modern features, but they allow me to work part-time and buy other things that matter more to me. Still have that refrigerator too.
I'm probably not typical.
