The IRS mileage deductible rate is 65 cents/mile, and it's pretty close to operational cost of a vehicle. Parking and tolls and 10,000 miles a year will easily get you to these numbers.
Some call this freedom, but I call this a financial millstone around your neck.

Oh, and about $5,000/yr in gas.
Are you in Europe or the US?
My insurance at age 20 with an accident under my belt was under $3,000 a year. My 50k mile Corolla cost less than your annual car payments.

That's $100 or two sedan sized tanks every week at US prices. At 30 MPG that's over 30,000 miles a year.
