SWE w/ just under four years of experience
After I started working remotely in 2020, I gave my car - a 2011 Chevy Sonic - to my adult son. Two years later when we decided to travel full time, we sold our other car - a 2011 Ford Fusion for peanuts to a friend of our sons because he needed a reliable car. Once we decided to make our nomadding seasonal, we got another car.
I absolutely hate spending money on cars. We have one car now.
I'm not sure why exactly. I don't hate cars or anything. But it's like talking about crypto or English football. People don't talk about it for intellectual gratification. If I try to, I'll just end up disappointed.
A replacement would more likely be basic hybrid than luxury EV because I don't want the rapid obsolesce that comes with modern electronics.

Notably my wife drops me off at the bus stop most mornings (lucky to have a bus in a rural area.) Also we've got 8 horses but no pickup truck because... If you need to haul something big you can pay somebody to do it for a fraction of the monthly payment on a big-ass truck. If we didn't have lots of trails on our property we might trailer riders somewhere else but as it is, we don't have to.
