      A spare vehicle is legitimately useful if you have an actual use case and are fortunate enough to have the space for it. My winter car allows me to do all of my own maintenance without having to worry about stranding myself at home.

        True, but most case i see is people spend more than necessary maintaining a vehicle they don’t have a place to store for an emergency that only came once every few years, which will end up selling it anyway. Just like truck, it only works for a minority of people.

          I suspect for many it is just a convenient excuse to buy a new vehicle because they’re tired of their current one and need a way to justify the cost to themselves.
