I'm operating under the assumption that the OP's car cost rather more than $2k, given that it was described as a "dream car" and they were getting salty about cat footprints on the hood. I'm guessing they're spending about $500-600/mo between the loan payment + increased cost of insurance.


I despise libertarians and don't agree with their financial beliefs, but thanks for playing.

Where do you live that that kind of money can get you a house with a garage?!

I currently live in a small college town and an extra $200/mo in rent would make the difference between my 2 BR apartment with covered parking versus a 3 BR house with a garage. I moved here from Kansas City, where an extra $400/mo would have made the difference between my 1 BR apartment with lot parking and a luxury 1 BR with a garage. I moved to KC from coastal Georgia in 2011; $500 more a month would have made the difference there.

So, probably anywhere in the midwest with a greater metropolitan population of 2M or less?


Non-bird animal crap on your car is probably from raccoons.

The median in the northern Virginia area, where I live, is $1500 a month for a one bedroom apartment. My two bedroom townhome with two parking spots and no garage was a hair under 300k, which was a hell of a deal. I've seen three bedroom townhomes with garages for 450+ grand.

I say this not to provoke a dickwaving contest, for my dick is tiny and shriveled. I'm just saying that for a lot of folks a garage is less feasible than even a very nice car.

Edit: it's worth mentioning that if you math out where people fly to and from where, Virginia is actually the most flown over state :v:
