I just want to drive and explore interesting places maybe 2-3 times a week.
Don't need it for commuting.

Do you like the car? Was it a fair price? No you're not retarded. You're 35 man. Most people would have gone through 3-4 cars by then unless your goal in life is to drive a beater until it rots.

Yes. $5K is max you should spend on first car because you'll not understand how to maintain it and have some major issues with accidents/etc.

1st or 2nd car should be shitbox that you can throw away. 3rd car is your ideal car.

I'm 38 and have been driving since I was 16 and the most I've spent on a car was $7k. Shitbox for life; ain't nobody can afford $20k for a car. Fuck 'em.
