Why Do We Buy The Cars We Buy?

In America, we like our cars.  We like them so much that the average car payment is $503.  The average loan term is 68 months.  Did I say we like cars?  I meant we like car payments.  For most, a car payment is just the normal way of life.  Most people don’t even question the idea of having one.  But what if you could have a nice car with no payment? Wouldn’t that be worth pursuing?
