I personally don't care about cars and have been driving a very old car. but I know it makes some people really happy to drive and have a nice car.

True. Life is such.

Keep driving that old beater car. You deserve it.

Some people like spending hours a week in a crappy box on wheels that gives them no enjoyment.

I choose to bike or walk instead of being locked in the box. I spend my money to live near work in an urban center that allows this.

The exercise and fresh air is great, and no need to buy expensive cars.

+1. So many money stupid people here.

Hey, jerk: not everyone has a job in an urban center. I can’t walk to my job, as it’s located on a busy road with no sidewalks.

My neighborhood itself is totally walkable, but my job isn’t. Hence, I have a car.

And even setting aside the practicality of, you know, needing a car as a means of transportation, many people genuinely enjoy driving. Even if I lived in an urban center, I'd still feel compelled to hit the road in a well appointed, twin turbo German-engineered auto. It's delightful.

aren’t interested in paying to maintain a depreciating asset.

If you know anything about accounting you will be able to calculate cost of money to purchase or lease, depreciation, and maintenance. Hint: maintenance costs and depreciation act in opposite directions.
And the leasing companies surely do know how to do this calculation. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

They are in same direction - out of your pocket.
