Car loan payments, gas, insurance, expensive constant maintenance, hidden health costs, stress, it ads up really quick if you think about it. You can add up to it the environmental cost that doesn't affect you directly on the pocket but can get us kill on the long term.
Cars are a money drain. You only loose. Nothing to gain, not even time with increasing traffic jams we see these days.
I rather ride a bike, walk, take transit and read a book (or Steemit) while commuting.
You are not crazy. Younger people that were born after the car boom don't see them as amazing machines, progress and freedom symbols... they see cars as quite the opposite.
Better take your money and time and invest in better things.
