[Age of Reason]

May not apply to you but I'd say that kids and pets require more upkeep than a car does.

Never love something that doesn't love you back.

Kids love you back.

Pets--sometimes sort of.

But cars? Nope. Not worth human love--not even affection; one would be repaid with trouble and heartache, and when it comes to cars, they give enough trouble and heartache as it is.

If I didn't have to worry about keeping up appearances, the only time my car would get washed would be when it rained.

A house (and yard) require a lot of upkeep too. That's life.
