The problem with owning a car is that it takes so much time just to maintain it. Too many weekends have been spent taking my car to the mechanic, changing the oil in the car, preparing it for bad weather, ect.

I own a car but I don't have time to actually use it. I will never be inclined to spend a lot of money on one.

Pretty much this. I own a car that I essentially inherited. The cost of it to me in gas, insurance and tax is borderline unacceptable for the use I have for it. I can't imagine spending significant amounts on a new car because I can't see how the use it offers me would be worth it.
