My wife and I share a 2000 Honda Civic and a 1999 Chevy Tahoe (2-door) interchangably – though she drives the Tahoe now since her commute is so short (less gas). Both were purchased used and are paid for. (Since we rent, we are currently living in a debt-free zone)
The Tahoe was purchased to go up to the mountains, drive through snow and also let’s us pull a boat (bought used and is also paid for). The Civic was purchased originally for my wife to learn to drive. But, since our commutes are short for her and longer for me, we swapped vehicles. Even though I drove a sporty convertable for many years before (bought used and drove it for 13 years), I have no problem driving the Civic now.
Some of our friends drive really nice auto’s and others not. Luckily none of our group members judge people on what they drive (as far as we know, wink). Everyone just drives the car they think is the best fit financially & practically.
There there’s the remainder of California (most on this forum excluded!).
