To the SEO listicle sites those 100 bucks are pocket change. To the high quality blog, it's maybe a deal breaker.

I live in a city that is awful for cars (Buenos Aires) and has kind of serviceable public transport (it's the method of transport for most people). Yet people that can afford to own a car will do so. And they'll use it whenever th
