I can afford my car, it'd cost me 5-7k a year if I had to rebuild the transmission every year. Mostly I get by on <3k a year all in since it's depreciated and my insurance is like 20 EUR a month and I do my own repairs. This with a notorious German money pit that will be celebrating its 20th next year.

However

I'd still take the motorcycle if I could. Seems way more fun. But now I've got a 2 year old so that plan's on pause for several years. I had a nice older Ducati Monster picked out before I got coaxed into this, which I was fully expecting to not be very sensible lol
