Everyone of those is a hurdle for those who live in a western or central European city. Where do you park your car? On the street, in a designated parking zone, which happens to be a five to ten minute walk from where you live (because the handful of spots closer to your apartment are already taken). Where do you wash your car? Not in your driveway (because you don't have one) or on the street in front of your apartment, because that's - quite frankly - illegal. So, you have to take it to a car wash, which is inconvenient. Car inspections... well, on that, I can only speak for Germany and Switzerland. In our case, the engine bay and undercarriage needs to be thoroughly washed before going for an inspection, any sign of rust is an automatic failure, and the criteria overall are much stricter than in the US and UK. America (or even just suburban America) and other car-friendly Anglo-Saxon countries are more of an exception than a fair representation of how the average person relates to owning and driving a car.
