Correction, ~$60k/year. Your point is valid that I could buy an old Prius, and I've considered it, or one of those plug-in cars that you can get for basically free after the California rebate, but it won't drive itself sadly. The M3 thing was a bit of a phase. I liked the way it sounded and drove, but I found myself wishing it had better self-driving features and that it was less easily nicked, dinged, and scuffed. One point of clarification; I don't self describe as wealthy or /very/ wealthy. The housing market in SF supports a healthy airbnb market.
