At one point I owned 5 cars (edit- I was about 18 years old at that point. They were not all very expensive vehicles...) . Through lots of moving the cars were sold off and so was a lot of junk (some just thrown away)

I sold my Boxster S at a significant loss vs. what I paid for it recently because I couldn't stand the sight of it parked in the back lot at work collecting dirt and not being driven, after I bought my Lotus.

I've now bought a motorcycle and, being here in LA, could really see myself not actually needing a car for the first time since I started driving. The bike is all I need. I don't do big shopping, groceries, etc- I can walk to the market and carry my laundry to the laundromat across the street- I buy lots of large things online or have things delivered....

My S.O. has a practical, 4 door Audi but I never even find myself really needing to use it for utility.

If I was in a different situation where I lived alone, I could see not owning a 4 wheel street car. Which would be great... more money for 4 wheeled... open wheel... race cars.




Part of my life pruning may eventually entail selling the lotus for as much if not more than I paid for it (yay exotics) and moving to an island where all I would need is a motorcycle and a gallon of gas per month.
