IMO people waste money on cars because they feel they want or need the next big thing, they want the more power, the more leather the more this and that and they want to show people their pretty new BMW or Audi.
Ironic that i drive a souped car but i did that before i matured and grew up.
IMO i would much rather have a 10 year old vehicle, no debt, and be able to save. Than have constant debt and have a new car every 4 years. People live beyond their means. I don't like owing people anything... ever. I like knowing that my stuff is mine. Id rather pay off my house than buy a new car.
Edit:
Another problem is i dont like buying new cars, you take such a stupid hit on depreciation out the door, probably another reason why i dont like leases. I also dont mind working on a older vehicle.

This post came off as terribly arrogant and really generalizes people.
I didn't lease a brand new vehicle to compensate for my penis size. I leased a new vehicle so the chances of my wife and child sitting in a broken down vehicle on the shoulder of deerfoot are as low as I can make them. I leased a new vehicle so they have roadside assistance to bail them out if something does go wrong. I leased a brand new vehicle so if they ever get in an accident (god forbid), hopefully all the latest and greatest safety features will keep them alive.
There are dozens of reason people like to own a new vehicle other than impressing chicks and the new car smell. One day when you grow up, you will realize that some things in life are way more important than a few hundred dollars a month.
