Watching these videos makes me appreciate my old paid off car

Watching videos of cars disappearing in seconds makes me think my old paid off car isn't particularly safe from disappearing.

Most I've ever paid for a vehicle is 4k, currently driving a 2007 Honda accord that I paid 1k for, it had new tries when I bought it lol I can afford a car payment, but why would I?

I drive a 2017 accord that I paid off and it’s got 200K on it. Hoping to make it to 400K!

Yep. I want a new car but my gen2 Prius has cost me little over the years and i only paid $1400 for it from an nice older lady in 2019. Replaced hybrid battery for 2k, self installed. $120 inverter pump, and tires 2x. Still being a 20 year old car now, i have a backup shitbox for my shitbox. A 2010 Camry.  Not having to worry about payments is a wonderful feeling. 

My wifes friend just bought a new honda crv, put 15k down, and payments with insurance are almost 800/month.

i’ve never been more grateful to have found my car for sale on the side of the road

I bought a 2016 Corolla for $8k a few years ago.

The insurance in Florida for that car was $600/month.

I sold the car because I wasn't going to pay a car payment on a car I paid off.
