I drive a 25 year old VW Golf Cabriolet, and as much as I love it it really is a labour of love. The extra costs in terms of insurance, tax and making sure she passes the annual car test probably cancel out any savings but I hope that in the sense of developing technical skills and forbearance maybe it will make me wealthy in the future? If not monetarily then perhaps spiritually? It’s really not for everyone though. I don’t drive for work and mainly use public transport so it is in a sense an indulgence. If I was dependent on having a reliable car I’m not sure it would be so wise, but she is sweet and I always get complements on it, so I’ll be driving it for a while to come ...
