You can buy a car, ie marriage. It's yours complete with all the upkeep and expense, which usually means you are quite happy with your purchase early on. It's yours, it's new, you get to drive it everyday, and although the payments might be a bit much, the upkeep is pretty reasonable. As time goes on however, the payments remain the same, the upkeep goes through the roof and a lot of times you can't drive it due to it being in the shop and the rest of the time you really don't care to drive it any more any how. probably the worst option in getting a car to drive.
Or you can lease, ie Sugar Baby. It too is yours but with out any kind of large down payment, the payments are reasonable, you still get to drive it whenever you want and are only responsible for basic maintenance and making the monthly payments of course. After a period of time you probably are going to get tired of driving it too, at which time you simply turn it back it and lease another, newer car if you like. Much better option than buying and probably the most cost effective for those of us who like to drive a new car all the time without having to be bothered trying to get rid of our old car when it's lost it's luster.
and of course for some of us who don't really care about the cost, you can always rent a car ie hooker. It's never yours, but who cares? you get to drive it whenever you want, you only have to pay for it during the time you are actually driving it. You are not responsible for ANY of the upkeep and you can exchange it every single day if you want to. It might cost a little more than leasing, but with ZERO commitment and you only have to pay for the time you actually use it. Pretty good option if you don't mind paying a bit more than leasing, and a great option if you don't need to drive every day. lol
If I found a lady who was worth my time, worthy of my trust and more importantly committed to put forth the same level of effort into building a long lasting and meaningful live together then that's where I would be.
Until then, I'll play in this world
Continuing with your analogy...
With the ownership option, you didn't mention the emotional connection you have with the car. Sure, over time the vehicle can get temperamental, it doesn't have the latest options, the seat is cracked, but you have some great memories with it and it's comfortable...it fits you. You also know what to expect from it. And, if you give it some TLC, it still looks and runs great. And it's paid for!!!
With what you call the lease option, I think your analogy is wrong. It's really more of a rideshare option. You're kinda obligated to it, you've bought a share in it, but so have three or four other MFers. You can't always have it when you want it and the other co-owner(s) left it dirty, abused, and the tank is on 1/4 full. It's never really yours, but you still have that payment expectation.
With the rental option, you get it pretty close. You can keep the car you own, but rent another vehicle for whatever purpose you need it for anytime you need it. You don't owe the rental company anything but the price you agreed to pay. You enjoy the rental car, you treat it nice just because it's the right thing to do, then you return it. If you feel like driving 130 mph, you rent a vette. If you feel like getting dirty, you rent a 4x 4. If you feel like letting the crisp air blow thru you hair and the sun shine on your face, you rent a convertible. The rental company is happy because they made a profit and hopefully gained a repeat customer. You are happy because you had a great time with the vehicle, you returned it with no further obligation, and you return home to your own paid for, comfortable, vehicle that, with proper care and maintenance, will dependably care for you until you can't drive anymore.
I think the choices are clear.
The ownership option, when you say "And it's paid for". Yeah right, you'll pay for that damn thing your entire life, if you keep it that long. No thanks, had one, never again.
LMFAO. I can't believe how men (Like you) are comparing pussy to vehicles.
Do you fuck you vehicle like you fuck pussy?!
If the answer is "NO", then stop comparing the 2 and Just say what you mean & mean what you say!!
And If this sound Stupid to you then rethink what you put in your posts!!!!
Cars that you literally have to pay someone to haul away for you.
Not comparing YOU to that kind of old rusted out car of course, just saying.....
ROFLMFA
Why would you sounding stupid have anything to do with what someone else wrote?
Although I own a car, I keep the maintenance/repair costs down by using public transportation. What would be the female equivalent of public transportation?
You pay to get on and get off.
I'll keep my providers classier than my transportation.

But of course, cars and women have only so much in common.
I just parted with a car I had for nearly 14 years and 250,000 miles. I did so not to get something nicer, or newer, or with more features; but because my mechanic told me that the body had so much rust, it would be unsafe in an accident.
My new car, even though it's at least one or two steps down from the old one, drives much better, has many more features, and gets much better mileage while feeling more peppy. Even the seats are more comfortable.
Yet, the old car, now the company's "back-up" vehicle in case anyone's car is in the shop, sits in the lot and when I see it there, I get a bit baleful.
Soon people will not even need drivers licenses - all cars will be self-driving.
But the relationship between men and women will remain the same
One that appreciates in value over time. I refer, of course, to the trust fund princess you marry with no prenup.
Rent it. Dont buy it. Thats an old one.
with a new car HOPEFULLY you have the New Car Smell!! LOL....

When you want her to turn over on a cold morning – she won’t.
See ladies, I can take your side from time to time. lol
s soon as you drive it off the lot it has lost 10 – 12 percent of its value, and performance is not the same as when you took it for a test drive.
And that is when the head aches begin. At least with a rental you return it when you are finished and someone else has to deal with the oil changes and all the other maintenance.
Thank You

I think the longer we run this line of though the more problems with the analogy we'll all find.
Sure, resale price 5 feet down the road take a big hit (not sure about the performance claim as most cars need 300 - 500 miles and an oil change before you really have the performance -- that break-in period) but there's a down side for the rental as well. You never know how many other asses have been sitting and farting in that drivers seat you just rented.
Besides that, I've come to realize the the actual situation is not buying the car but the short term rental versus a longer term rental/lease arrangement.
There are ups and downs to both, just as long as you know the ins and outs you should be OK.
Thank You

I'm not even so sure it cost more, in the long run.
You see with a rental I'm not paying when I'm not using the car.
And with buying or leasing when I travel to another city, I'm responsible for getting the car to the city I'm traveling to. With rentals, there are plenty of different models (each with their own unique bells and whistles) to pick from that are in that city. I can drive the rental while there and turn it in before I go back home.
Cost benefit analysis, it's a beautiful thing.
Yep, I'll be renting for the rest of my life, I'm certain of it.
It's only money, I can't take it with me when I go and the only one getting short changed from my indulgence is St Jude's Hospital, my beneficiary.
...just going to the saloon and hitchhiking on whatever come's along. Moonlight Limo is kinda nice.

what type of equity is building up in the buy arrangement.
Same holds here and once you got all the equity it's only maintenance costs and with proper maintenance those costs can be minimized. Of course the really good thing about buying the car is it doesn't care if you lease another one for periodic drives and the "new feel" factor. Moreover, reducing the wear and tear on the one you own reduces maintenance and increases it's serviceability but also adds the comfort of having a longer time together -- seat better molded to you, feel of the steering, acceleration, handling in the curvy parts that is missing from the rented model.
What I'm wondering about is why GaG is limiting his pleasures. That seems completely out of character 
and just how am I limiting my pleasures, I both lease and rent, sometimes I enjoy my lease car/s and a rental in the very same day. Choosing not to "buy" gives me both more time and money, it's actually completely in character for me. lol
One other thing to keep in mind, limiting your "driving time" of the car you own, doesn't guarantee you that some one else won't be driving YOUR car in your absence, creating even more wear and tear and virtually guaranteeing you that you will never have ANY equity in said car.
Never thought you would be limiting your pleasure but the compare contrast exercises implies one or the other it seemed.
Sure, everything depreciates but it's not clear the depreciation rate is directly proportional with the payoff rate and rate that the equity builds up.
That said, it really doesn't apply as in both cases you're really renting in your story -- it's just a short term versus longer term/open term lease situation rather than a purchase so my though a bit off topic.
Of course the first option "buying" is completely off the table, it cost me WAY too much to get someone else to take over payments on the first (and only) car I bought, and that is something I NEVER plan on doing again personally, but it's still an option that most people here have opted for and are still paying on.
Personally I find the short term lease to be ideal for me, especially since I have discovered the Bank of Seeking Arrangement where they have thousands of listings for short or long term leases with ZERO penalties for terminating a lease early, no down payment and low payments on some very new and very good looking and performing models.
I still do find myself needing or wanting to rent a car for an hour or two, and I still do so once a week or so, but lately I have found myself driving my lease car/s a lot more often than my hourly rentals.
who also don't have to drive much. For someone with your appetite for "driving," renting is not the most cost effective, but if you also have the budget for it, like you said, who cares?"
On the other hand for someone on a lower budget, but who maybe only needs to "drive" say once a month, renting is definitely more economical than leasing, or buying. I know for you, "driving" once a month would drive you to the crazy house or jail.
I wonder if anyone ever rented 40 different cars in a 10 day period?
to a provider ad that said to email for rates. She came back at $800/hr, and my response was, "I don't want to buy you, I just want to rent you!"
