To make math easy and be conservative, let’s say your car gets 30mpg and gas is $4/gallon. You drive on the highway for 1 hour at 60mph. Your had to pay your car $8/hour to work. This is without considering insurance, maintenance, wear and tear, depreciation, etc. If you are getting paid minimum wage, your car is making more than you. If you factor in all the other things I mentioned, your car is making more like $10-$25/hr depending on make, model, year, mpg, etc. Your car is worth more than you
