I found the analysis of the importance of smartphones over vehicles to be very interesting. I pay $150 month for my family talk, text, and data plan, plus another $50 for high speed internet into my house. The payment on my car is $207 a month (own, not lease). I probably spend another $2k-$4k a year on other piece of technology, while doing the bare minimum to keep my car running. And I live in the suburbs in the midwest. I bet HNers in cities have a much stronger bias towards personal technology than personal transportation.
