Right now none because I didn't bring one with me when I moved to DC, but in Seattle I had an old Fiat for my personal car, but I also shared a Mercedes with my dad for more practical purposes because, among other things, my Fiat has a top speed of about 45, can't drive in the rain, overheats, has no backseat, and has a battery that can barely stand having both the air conditioning and headlights on at the same time. But on the flipside, it's adorable:
it seems me and you are the only people here with a "cool" car.

Still my 9-year old Audi A3 Sportback (Silver).

I intend to keep it for another 5 years or so, as long as the repair costs are not piling up (they aren't so far).

I then will likely switch to an e-model, because in 5 years the range of batteries should be much better than now and charging times faster. Plus, the price for the cars will be down a bit.

Other than that, I use my e-mountainbike a lot and I generally drive much less with my car than say 10-13 years ago, after I got my license.

Gotta love the roadster. Smiley

Car ownership is dumb, expensive and bad for the environment.
Most people do spend way too much money on cars. If it costs more than 2-3 months’ salary, at most, it’s too much.

True.

I much prefer using my bicycle (s) and haven't brought it to Texas during the school year for specifically that reason

My daily commuter:

2018 Giant Escape 2

But for some reason I also have 3 cars despite living in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the United States and therefore rarely drive. But in each case, a relative or friend didn't want the car and therefore gave it to me, so how could I refuse? Tongue

Not my actual cars, but as close as possible, including colors and wheel styles:


2004 BMW 325xi (from my parents)


1992 Volvo 240 (from older relatives)


2002 Ford Explorer (from a friend; I use it to haul construction materials)

Update: my parents just told me they're giving me their 2004 BMW X5, which would be tied for being my newest car, in a few months:


So now I have to decide whether to give up something else from my underutilized fleet...
