Honestly, I've never understood this.  Owning a car if you don't need it (every day) is vastly expensive.

Indeed. it is. Owning a nice car (rather than a basic one) is also expensive. As is living in a nice place, riding a nice bike, wearing a nice watch or vacationing in a nice location. These are really, at least to some extent, luxury goods rather than essentials. But people are, in general, willing to spend money on such luxuries -- which specific ones, depends on the individual.

And I'm OK with that. A car parked in the garage is better than one being used for a daily commute. Smile
