I hear you that you don't have a car or really need one, but if you're interested at all - even just a little - in cars, you're actually an ideal candidate to get a cool car. Since you don't need it everyday, you can look at all the fun cars that wouldn't be as practical for somebody that needs it as a daily driver.
I recently bought a fun car for $11k (to give you an idea of what it could cost - obviously you can buy a car from $500 to $100,000+). Mine is a convertible Mini Cooper S. Since I bought it a couple months ago, I have removed some weathered trim pieces and installed new ones, ran a hidden Aux cable, detailed it, bought a stubby antenna, new tires, watched some YouTube videos on why my rear parking sensors weren't working to determine the fuse to change as part of other trouble shooting I had to do, mounted a phone holder, removed all the old decals and put new racing stripes on, and a bunch of other little things.
Did you follow Pylon's thread about that Jeep he made awesome? That was a great thread and can kind of show the fun of following along with somebody enjoying this hobby.
It's fun to go to the garage and just screw around with a vehicle. It's even more fun to go for a drive. And if you're interested, there are
always car meet ups if you want to socialize. I know a guy who wasn't into cars at all until after he was 30. Then he bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and became hooked and is active in that community. Cars are a super fun hobby for most budgets. Personally, I enjoy the $10-15k cars people put some effort into versus, say, a brand new Hellcat that comes out of the box "special".
