What do you think about the impact of owning so many vehicles?

    Zlich. Because -- stay with me here -- I can only operate one of them at a time.

    I bought all but two of them used. That ship sailed before I even swung a leg over.

    Buying second hand definitely reduced the impact. But it still creates a demand for second-hand that motivates people/companies to buy more new products because they know they can easily sell it back.
