When I was 20yo I thought cars are cool and having car that would stand out would be great.

Closing in on 40 I couldn’t care less. If it is safe, doesn’t break down, gets me to places I am happy.

I have my own ways to express myself as a person, car is definitely not the thing.

Same. I just bought pretty much the cheapest used EV I could find that looked alright to me and had enough range. Happy as a clam.

I'm not interested in wasting tens of thousands of dollars on slightly more comfortable seats and stuff like that. I could, it just doesn't seem worth it. I'd rather have the money for other things.

Maybe next time I'll buy a slightly more premium car like a Volvo EC30 or something like that, if I can find a nice used one for a decent price. I don't see any reason to buy new cars. In my market a 4 year old car (still under warranty) is literally less than half the price of a new one. I don't think the warranty is worth that much.
