    Honestly, I can’t even imagine what it would be like having only owned two cars in my whole life.

    Easy, just think back to when you were driving your second car ;)

    What typically prompts you to buy a new car?

    For me, it’s always been that I “need” a car for commuting, so I’ve looked for something reliable and efficient (I put “need” in quotes because technically, the bus routes in my city could have gotten me to work without a car. Turning a 20 minute drive into a 90 minute bus ride isn’t super palatable, though).

    I bought my first car used and my second car new around the time Cash for Clunkers was affecting the used car market.
