    “inexpensive car” is a myth that keep getting repeated. Car can seems cheap up front but it could inflate in cost in the long run due to fuel and maintenance. Not to mention it’s a deprecating asset, doing serious damage to the environment in the long run, dangerous machine that often misused.

    “but my fuel is cheap!”

    Yeah? Because it’s subsidised, using your tax that’s better used for something else.

      You are talking about total cost of ownership.

      Car can seems cheap up front

      Not anymore, which is the point of this article.

      “but my fuel is cheap!”

      Don’t forget the “but muh freedom!”. Let them now enjoy their freedom to stay at home since there’s not even sidewalks :-|
