I think we have to acknowledge rain is free.

And that is like my parents would deliberately park our cars outside of the garage when it rained so they would get washed.

like take my car to the Palladio studio, but then either I have to valet it or I have to circle the block four times trying to find a parking spot.

I'm just going to Uber.

Like it's fine.

And for me, I think when you're thinking about leasing or buying or just taking a ride share, it's ultimately comes down to your use.

It comes down to what you're trying to solve for.

I have a friend who moved to Texas for his job and he leased a car.

It's a beautiful car.

He definitely doesn't drive it enough, so probably shouldn't have.

But the reason he leased is there's a non-zero chance that he might get transferred to the LA office or the New York office or the London office or whatever.

He wants to have flexibility.

Great.

You don't have to figure out how to sell your car.

But if you are buying a car that's like a Toyota Sienna, you have two kids that have to go to soccer practice and hockey camp and all that stuff, and you know you're going to drive this car into the ground, maybe you buy it.

It depends on who you are.

There's no such thing as the perfect answer for anybody.

It is up to you and your lifestyle.

And your lifestyle.

My lifestyle is I am a hermit until I'm not.
