    Between my wife and I and our oldest daughter we spent over $4k on maintenance in just the last month.

      And this is why you want to promote bicycles. Most car trips are under 3 miles which is easily doable on a bicycle, even easier on an electric bicycle.

      Maintenance costs? Like double digit costs per year per bike, if that. I bought a new bike and had zero maintenance costs for 2 years now

        Dude, my toenails aren’t good. But my dad’s toenails are a war crime and he’s got upper middle class boomer money. I haven’t had health care in decades. But I own four shitty cars, and three of them are usable.
