How on earth would you know what a person who comments has owned or does own? Your comment sounds like another version of saying "I'm always right - You're always wrong, regardless of the facts."
I tend to believe that most people on this site are speaking from their real world experiences, just as you say you are.

30 cars in 30 years? So does that mean that you bought a new car every single year? This is what I find funny about an awful lot of Domestic car owners is the fact that they crow all day about how great their domestics are, yet since they buy new ones every 2-3 years means they seldom kept them for long enough. What a total waste of money. You could have bought several houses and retired for all of those rust belt beauties.
On the other hand, in 15 years of driving, I've had exactly 2 cars. A 87' Celica which I traded for my Tacoma that I still have. I'm 32 years old and will have enough saved for retirement by the time I'm 40. If I was as car-crazy and bought a new car every few years, I'd actually be in debt.
This is why some of us who drive Toyotas and spend nothing on repairs and keep them 10-15 years or more might actually have a bit more money in our pockets. Guess we're a bunch of misinformed stupid import drivers aren't we?
