For a beater to just to drive back and forth to work I can buy a used Toyota Camry at half that price. To my eyes, even $35k is too fucking much for a second vehicle

Yeah... That's not the point.

Usta work with a guy who drove an old Ford Highboy. Forty miles each way. Making $12 an hour. I said to him... "Hey Ski, why don't you get a little shitbox that's good on gas to drive to work?" He began shaking with rage as he exclaimed, "I'll never drive anything but a truck."
Societal conditioning is a powerful thing. You have been brainwashed to believe you're not a real man unless you drive an impractical gas hog. Big Three and Big Oil thank you.
You can't go past a little shitbox for getting around in. I bought a low mileage 2012 Hyundai i30 for a couple of grand last time and it's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

WELL. If I wouldn't pay $35, certainly not spending $70

I don't know. A big part of the cars I have are that I like the car and I feel comfortable in it. I really hate little fucking shit box cars. And I wouldn't want to drive back and forth to work in a little tiny shit box.
I like my explorer. It's comfortable and I like it. I don't mind paying more to drive it.
