There are a lot of people out there who drive 100 miles a day in a full sized pickup, lots of people with very high insurance prices due to accidents and the like, etc. A guy in the building I work at gets parking tickets at least once a week just out of his own laziness. I know multiple people who do no maintenance on their car until it breaks down completely and they get stuck with an expensive repair bill that could have been easily avoided and then they get a rental for the time it is in the shop. As far as I can tell a great deal of people just throw money at their cars and they are part of that average.
