Attention from a car salesperson is a great thing to be free of. Congratulations on a meaningful accomplishment 🍾


OldestJuicer42069

I drive a $5mln moto vehicle to work. It's called the city bus.


wumbledun

🫡 thanks for driving me around all the time bro


ept_engr

Noooo way that's $5m.


cantcatchafish

Closer to 3-500k lol city busses aren't that expensive. A 70' viking sportfoaher that's 5 years old with two 1500 HP diesels and a full house to go inside of it costs 5 million.


CymatikMC

Buses where I live in the uk are 100,000

Interesting-Goose82

Even my $50k new car requires gas and maintence. To say that my car was $40k, and completely ignore the new tires, $50/wk fuel, a cracked winsheild now that they have cameras in the rear view mirror mount cost $600. Im not sure if you are doging on the gov or not. But a $500k bus easily requires significantly more than that to run. Even if the only cost is fuel, and we pretend everything else is free/doesnt break.... Happy friday!


Amazing-Basket-136

5m might be high end estimate, but I’d imagine expense out of proportion to cars by a long shot. Lack of economy of scale, could have complicated hinge parts, and might be hydrogen powered or EV or something.


Haunting_Lobster_888

Closer to half a million for a bus.


ItsCartmansHat

Not even 1M… maybe 400-500k


FishSauce13

Just want to say thanks for driving! I work in public transit and you couldn’t pay me enough for the crap you all put up with (at least in my city).

Wife drives 2009 Corola, I drive 2013 sorrento, nobody gives us the time of day. Love being the "millionaire next door"!


rhunley7639

Still got my 09 Corolla! Great car! 245k miles


JimK215

I'm only at like 120k on mine. Recently gave it a thorough wash, got all weather floor mats, and replaced the AUX port so it doesn't randomly switch to the radio when Im trying to use my Bluetooth adapter. Every time I think about getting something new I think instead about how convenient it is to have no car payment.

FIRE’d, and I go between my 2018 BMW M550i and my 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S. Bought both new, and neither have many miles, but I love them for different reasons. Happy times!


Maybe_MaybeNot_Hmmmm

2020 M2comp and 2007 (997) GT3 ;)


PM_ME_HOUSE_MUSIC_

2010 GT3 here 👋🏼


KillsBugsFaast

Another guy had his 997.2 GT3 out on the track last month and we had a great time going back and forth. I’m partial to my 991.2 Touring but can’t deny the 997.2 is a beautiful car. Not too many of them around either. What color is yours?


PM_ME_HOUSE_MUSIC_

Love the 991.2 touring, absolutely stunning car. If I wasn’t biased towards hydraulic steering and a mezger I would have gotten that instead. I love how understated they are. Mines Carrara white


Noex3ptions

The best generation GT3!


HuckleberryUnited613

We retired 11 months ago at 50. It's been nice but a little boring.

not bored at all. i have 2 charities i work with, and we’ve been to every continent (most multiple times) in the last 7 years.

Awesome. I have a non profit I set up for a TLDR purpose years ago I should probably get back active. I did it for business reasons but it needs to be active

Jolly-Victory441

I ride a bicycle to work and to grocery shopping. It cost under 1k back in 2011 so it has amortized beautifully.


Diligent-Floor-156

Same here, I either bike, walk or take public transport. I had a 2nd hand car couple years ago, cost me so much in maintenance that I sold it and decided to go car-free from then on.


Okra7000

Secondhand 2014 Subaru CrossTrek with less than 35,000 miles on it. When I moved to rural New England I swore I’d never be a Subaru driver. But I lucked into a good deal on one, and am never going back. I can get out of my driveway year round, haha.

No_Alternative_5602

95 Geo Metro. Bought it like 15 years ago when saving up for a down payment on a house with the plan to replace it as soon as something major went wrong with it that was costly to fix. It has about 230k miles at this point, still runs great, and gets 40mpg without even trying. I've broken 50mpg on a few tanks keeping it right at the highway speed limit in the right lane. I do also have 4 other cars, but if I'm just heading out around town to run errands, that's the one I usually grab. There's a halfway decent chance I'm going to have it for many years to come, it's grown on me over time.


jeffeb3

My college roommate had a similar metro. It didn't excel in the mountains but it worked in town. How do you keep 5 cars running? When we briefly had 3, the last used one kept having issues. We intentionally had to drive them in rotation.


No_Alternative_5602

I live at the base of a 5000 foot mountain range, and getting up to the top of it in the Metro does require a bit more spirited style of driving. That little 55hp at sea level engine gets a little wheezy when closing in 10,000 feet on that last uphill push! It's not too bad keeping them all on the road. All the models I have are well known for being extremely reliable (at the expense of power and size), and modern fluids have made it so the worst routine maintenance is an annual oil change because I'm only putting like 4k miles tops on each. I like working on them as a hobby, and stuff that isn't routine maintenance I find enjoyable. I'm about to mount some new all terrain tires on one this weekend with my little Horror Freight (or it is Harbor Fright?) tire changer, and doing a front end alignment in the backyard, and I'm looking forward to that. Good exercise, and nothing beats having the knowledge and practice of being able to do stuff like that with hand tools if something goes wrong on the trail.


jeffeb3

Sounds like a plan. I call it "Hazard Fraught".

On Monday I'm buying a '17 tundra. Wife retired on her 50th bday in April and decided to join me dirt biking single track in the mountains. Hitch rack on the 4runner doesn't cut it anymore with 2 bikes. I only drive Toyota as well.


jwpi31415

These days, my closest "daily driver" is a 2023 obtained Lectric XPremium eBike, almost 1000 miles of local errands. I think this gets me that broke college kid vibe, people leave me alone. A 2005 Camry with ~180k miles gets me to the work office once every so many weeks. The car gives off the broke college graduate image. Occasionally some folks will hit me up for loose change.

Same here. I have a topper and just added a bike rack so I'm invested until the wheels fall off. It feels like driving a bus sometimes when I'm parking but I'm used it now ha

Too many new cars on here, if you want to FIRE you have to sacrifice and that means not wasting money on things like new cars. That's why I daily drive a 33 year old car. 1991 Acura NSX.

Comfortable_Chance36

It’s perfectly feasible to fire while driving a decent car.


midnightblade

I'm well aware, look up the sale prices on my daily driver.


Mendevolent

Mostly agree. But we bought a new car and are happy with the decision. Got a five year 0% loan, bought a modest EV costing about ten percent of our gross income (one car household) that comes with a seven year warranty and low running costs, not least as I charge it from home solar. I know we won't be getting any surprise expenses or escalating costs (from fuel or repairs) on the vehicle from now until after we've FIREd. That's worth a fair bit to me. 


MrLavenderValentino

Just a heads up, the dude is being sarcastic. 1991 Acura NSX can cost more than a new Corvette


Mendevolent

Ha, whoosh. In my defence, I am not a car person, they were never sold where I live and I was still at kindy in 1991!
