Unless you’re repairing the car yourself, I think those who buy the high end sports cars are stupid. Hundreds of dollars for a car that isn’t drivable because you have to take it to the shop after nearly every drive because of the roads. At least, economywise, those who drive $40,000 cars, or less, can probably be argued as being the most intelligent.

Which Drivers are the Smartest?

I fix them myself, don't give a damn what the color is as long as it's a medium, low key color. I don't buy obscure stuff because I like widely available, low cost parts, new or used. Never paid more than a 4 digit price tag, have never been without transportation for more than two days and haven't been in an accident in over 40 years when I was a teen.

That’s the smartest way, imo. A person should know, as a principle, how to at least change their oil.

I meant hundreds of thousands of dollars for cars that are mostly undriveable on our streets.

Sounds pretty smart to me.

Grew up in a wrecker business and have always built my own 50s, 60s, and 70s classics as daily drivers. Flip them when I get a good offer and build another one. Still to date I have not had one daily driver that had computerized engine management or was made of plastic. I still use bumper jacks... :)
