Every week we hear a story about how it's 20 degrees outside, the car fall off the jack, and after a minor repair is completed, you're just 8 more repairs away from having a pristine 20 year old car.

The question is, what was the value of all the cars in the condition they're in 6 months ago, combined?

Physics and design has constrained you to operating only 1 vehicle at a time, making extra vehicles unnecessary.

What if the value of all your vehicles were contained in a single car? What would that reality look like? Would it be a reliable vehicle needing no head gasket, no main seal, no heater core, no headlight restoration, no dent pulling...
