I've had 23 vehicles. Cars, pick up trucks, straight trucks, and a couple motorcycles. Ive driven 1.1 million miles, did that by age 35. Im not sure what Ive spent total, but just the purchase prices come in at around $150,000, ya I bought quite a few used ones of the $500-$1000 variety. Ive probably spent around a 1/4 million or so on cars/fuel/car stuff since 1982. Considering I did almost all my own wrenching, I shudder to think what it would have been letting someone else do the repairs. Still, after driving for a living, I was probably around 30 before I finally got a clue and made the choice to get out of that type of life. Took 5 more years before the car life was history.
the car culture will enslave alot of people, I refuse to live under that yoke any longer
