It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Even though my car was fully paid off, maintaining it was no longer worth the expense.

I‘m a poor apprentice and I have a 25 y/o 50cc 2-stroke scooter. It’s great. Gets me everywhere (that isn’t too far away) and costs almost nothing. Even with horrendous gas prices a full tank costs like 10€ and usually lasts me a month. And, here in Germany, 50cc scooters don’t need registration or tax, just insurance and that’s less than 40€ a year.

Only in winter it’s a bit unpleasant (and borderline suicidal in snowy/icy conditions) but that’s only a few weeks out of the year…
