Some cars yup, others not so much - my old 4Runner is a solid daily for <$9000. And I can re-sell it later for pretty close to that if I decide. So really very little depreciation, virtually no property tax. I have insurance, which is fairly low, but it's there. And gas is probably the worst as it gets pretty bad mileage, but hey gas is pretty cheap right now: ) I have my FR-S now which is an 'economy' sports car that I originally purchased for practicality, and it does that balance between practical/low cost/lots of fun better than most cars. But I now have my eye on a 2015 F-Type R as prices are coming down. Despite having kids, I now have the flexibility of having a completely impractical two seat supercar because I have my 4Runner as a backup. Keep it nice and cozy in the garage for nice days, keep the mileage down (classic car/weekend car insurance is much cheaper), retains value, and I have the best of both worlds instead of a compromise car that tries to do everything. That's my point/perspective, just trying to convey an alternate way of thinking, YMMV and that's all good. Not going to debate it.
