She then proceeded to tell me how between her and her two friends they have 5 broken cars that need expensive repairs.

So it would be really helpful if I had a car to help her out when her car was broken and I’m just like… telling me about how expensive and hard to maintain cars are is not “super” convincing me to get one.

So yeah not gonna be buying a money pit and am going to enjoy just using a scooter. Sorry mamma! (As a note I’m 29 and own my own house.)

    I have a newish electric car and I haven’t had to do repairs on it once. Still a money pit though. It cost me 35k. I heavily considered getting a scooter myself when I was looking for a new car.

      Ooh yeah for 35k I hope it stays working for a long while.

      I had a 2012 nissan leaf. It was cheap, but it was falling apart and needed a lot of repairs when I ditched it.
