I pointed out my car is basically free with no depreciation the last 3 years, my insurance is $17 per month, and the liscense was $90 one time 3 years ago and good forever now. I change the oil once a year myself for $20. And it gets at least 27 mpg around town and 35 on the highway. Tires I haven't needed, or brakes, they were new when I bought it and still look 70% or so. Someday I would like to move 30 miles out, but I will wait until I'm retired or close to it. After commuting 40 miles a day from North of SF to Alameda, I swore never again. I would live in a dumpy apartment before wasting all that time and energy in a crowded freeway.
