Seriously. Until last year I drove a car that was 1/3 the cost. And while not new, it was a nice car!

I'm almost middle-aged and I've never owned a new car.

My current car cost me $2,000 a few years ago. I can't imagine paying $17k for a Hyundai, of all things. I'd have to be seduced by some kind of sexy rare classic.

I have another running car, a hideous Subaru, that I bought for $100. That's my backup.

My younger cousin bought a (low-class) sports car for about a third of that price and modded it out to 200 horsepower. Any time I hear a price go over 10k I cringe.
