I had my last car for 18 years and never got to 85k miles. That being said, you only live once and I think that getting from point A to point B should be part of the experience. I opted for a fun car when I had to get another one and saved accordingly. Picked up a Focus RS last year and slapped my One-up on the back. Getting to the trail head is something I enjoy and when I get back to the parking lot I don't dread heading back out on the road.
If you don't like driving, you're waiting for the days of autonomous vehicles or Lyft drivers so you can surf the web while you're whisked to your destination. Me, I'm using that right foot to burn some dinosaur bones and give me that satisfaction that comes with a machine doing something that you can feel in your soul. If that sounds weird, you won't get it and I'm cool with that. I know that I dread having to get an electric car for those reasons.
