Your are what you drive or you are not what you drive?
I think my vehicle represents what I am. A person who drives a car that looks brand new on inside and out, but too cheap to pay for one that actually is. I stereotype and I find it very beneficial. After seeing a photo online for an out of state vehicle and researching through carfax, I was able to decipher quickly that an old man owned this and took immaculate care of it. So I flew out to get it and drove it home. It took me way too long to figure out cars detract from my net worth and do not add to it...

My used car was previously owned by a Retired Drug Dealer who drove it only on Sundays to a local church and back.

Yep. The 19 year old pickup and 9 year old SUV don't have a lot of resale. But they're reliable and get us from point A to point B.Too insignifcant a number to even bother doing the math.

+1, trivial % of NW. But every car makes a statement about the owner, whether it's a Bentley, a beater, or anything in between.Too insignifcant a number to even bother doing the math.
Sometimes the "Midlife Crisis red sports car " justifies the draw on net worth (turn the volume down on this u tube link)
