There is a big gap before and after buying a car.
There is a big gap in life before and after buying a car, and life after owning a car will basically be much more convenient. For example, if you have a car, you don't have to take a bus when you go back to your hometown. If you have a car, you will be more comfortable going to work every day. If you have a car, you don't have to be exposed to the wind and the sun. But there are many things that people don't know before buying a car, and they don't know until after buying a car.
First, if you have a car, you have to be exposed to the wind and the sun.
Before buying a car, everyone must have thought that when I buy a car, I will never have to bask in the sun again. I drive when it rains, and I drive when the weather is bad. Anyway, I drive to and from work if I'm not happy. Having a car is willful. But the reality is that many people commute too short, or there are too few parking spaces in their units, so it is more inconvenient to drive to and from work than not to drive. It may be that I can't find a parking space after looking for it for a long time, or the parking space is far from the unit. It's much more convenient to ride a battery car in the wind and the sun.
Second, you only know that driving is expensive when you have a car.
Before buying a car, many people only pay attention to its appearance and price. They only see the advantages of the car and whether it is expensive or not, and they can't afford it themselves. They don't know the various costs of using the car later. After buying a car, I found out that no matter whether the car is open or not, I have to pay insurance every year. A tank of oil is gone before it is opened. Every time you refuel, it will be a bit boring, and it will cost more than 10 thousand a year. Even if you don't pass the driving skills in the street, it's easy to violate the rules and ask for money everywhere. It is no exaggeration to say that raising a car is like raising a child.
Thirdly, I didn't know it was cheap to travel by car until I had a car, and it was too tiring to drive.
Before buying a car, everyone must have thought that if I buy a car, I must play the role of a car and drive it to road trip with my family on holidays. However, due to the high fuel consumption of cars and the usual charges, the cost of driving on go is more expensive than hitchhiking, and go is basically practical.
If we want to travel by car at a lower cost than by car, we must travel with five people, so that the cost of sharing is the lowest. But everyone is busy at ordinary times. There are usually three people going to road trip, but it's much more cost-effective for a family of three to go by car than to drive by themselves. Only when you have a car, you will find that it is really too tired to drive long distances, and it is still comfortable to sit.
