Wow, 54 grand just to own a Honda for 5 years. Astonishing.

I just ran a report on my automotive spending for both my 911 and my El Camino. Over the last 5 years for everything, including tools I have bought, and everything but insurance for the two cars it came to $14,650 bucks.

Of course depreciation is not an item as both cars have increased in value. And they are fairly cheap to insure as I have a pristine driving record, and keep them at home in a garage at night.

I had no idea owning new cars cost that much. I don't track my wife's Macan as it is her car and her money for maintenance. The Macan has bee totally bullet proof, and only routine maintenance has been done. I have done the oil changes, and battery replacement.
