The army of "two tanks of oil a year" is about to be dispatched, why can't you buy a car?

If you often pass by the industrial parks of big cities, or remote places near the suburbs, you will find many cars parked neatly on the side of the road, and almost all of them are covered in a layer of clothing, motionless all year round, and have accumulated a thick layer of dust.

Most of these cars are ridiculed as an army of "two tanks of oil a year". In another month or so, these cars will be poured out of the nest, one after another into the car wash, under the operation of the staff to become shiny, and then add a tank of oil to the highway, carrying family and relatives to embark on the road back to their hometown for the New Year, and when they come back for the New Year, they will add a tank of oil, so they are named "two tanks of oil a year" army.

Many people may think it is an exaggeration, but this phenomenon is actually very common, and I am very curious about whether it is really necessary to buy a car because these cars are not usually driven?

Indeed, if you calculate it from the economic level, this is indeed a bad deal, after all, buying a car can be as little as 108,000 yuan, and as many as hundreds of thousands. As soon as the car lands, it will face the problem of depreciation, and the annual insurance will also cost three or five thousand yuan, even if you need to use a car for the New Year, go to the car rental company to rent one, rent 500 per day, and go home for 10 days during the New Year It is only 5,000 yuan, which seems to be much more cost-effective than you buy one.

It's a pity that if all behaviors can be calculated clearly with economic accounts, then China's car companies will have to go bankrupt. Because most people even if they commute to work every day and take a taxi, the cost is much less than buying a car and maintaining a car.

The army of "two tanks of oil a year" is both helpless and inevitable. "The car is a family nuclear weapon, you can do without it, but you can't do without it", after all, many people live in the countryside, and the whole village has lived together for generations, knows each other, and moves around. There are deep ties between families, even kinship and nepotism.

Usually, everyone goes out to work, and only during the New Year and holidays will they get together. In order to maintain harmonious social relations and avoid losing face, many people will strive to maintain their social image, and owning their own car is the most intuitive display.

Moreover, although the current village-to-village project has made remote areas have direct access to cement roads, but visiting relatives during the New Year still needs to go over the mountains and mountains, and the inconvenience caused by no car still makes many people feel sad, just like a netizen said: "During the Chinese New Year, a relative invites dinner, and the place is about 30 kilometers away from home." After eating, my mother asked relatives who had cars one by one if they could take her home with me!"

In fact, this situation is very common, and perhaps it is these moments that make many people make up their minds to buy a car, even if they can't drive it a few times a year, but it can play a role at a critical moment.

This is completely different from the big city, convenient public transportation can solve 98% of the problem, even if it is 3 o'clock in the morning taxi can still be on call, and in the city life, there are not so many relatives and friends out of place problems and extremely uninteresting ridicule to bring offense, reinforced concrete is a natural barrier, no car can also be used to lottery difficult, expensive to make cards, parking inconvenient and other reasons for prevarication. Therefore, buying a car in a big city is not a must, and sometimes it can become a burden.

Buying a car and not driving it is actually a kind of helplessness

For the army of "two tanks of fuel a year", do you think they usually don't want to enjoy the kind of self-driving trip that brings happiness? Parking the car on the side of the road to get wet in the rain and eat ashes is just a helpless way to save money.

A large number of them work in factories. Generally, factories will provide food and accommodation, which also means that you don't need to use a car for work on weekdays, and you may only have a single day off on weekends, so you are naturally reluctant to drive out to play.

Earn not much, spend a lot. Some of them may have elderly parents to support, children who have just started school to spend money, or foreign debts that need to be repaid. In short, they are not like many post-90s and post-00s who can take a trip and go, and spending money and enjoying themselves is sometimes a sin for them.

Do you think they don't want to park in a parking lot that is guarded by a special person and monitored by cameras? But even if the parking fee is 300 yuan a month, it will cost 3,600 yuan in a year, which is almost equal to the monthly salary of some people!

Of course, there is also a situation: when you tear off the clothes, wash the car and drive out for a trip back, your free parking space is occupied by someone else, and you have to work hard to find another one. So, instead of tossing, it's better to let the car park there quietly.

"Two tanks of oil a year", car safety can not be ignored

People say that the car is not broken, but parked. The car is not driven all year round, and the air circulation on the car is easy to lead to accelerated aging of various parts such as wiring, battery, and interior, and the tire is easy to deform if it does not rotate and press the same position, and at the same time, gasoline expiration and oil oxidation will also have a negative impact on the engine.

Parking outdoors can also face problems such as rat infestation, mosquito breeding, and even theft of parts, so we can often see dilapidated cars outdoors.

Therefore, for the army of "two tanks of oil a year", when you go home for the New Year, you should first drive the vehicle to the auto repair shop for a comprehensive and detailed inspection and maintenance. Spending this extra money can avoid a lot of risks.

In addition to the problem of vehicles, many people do not usually drive, car skills can not be exercised, a car is on the highway on holidays, facing many cars, fast speed and other complex road conditions when caught off guard, resulting in an increase in accidents, further aggravating the situation of road congestion, which is why every holiday must be an important reason for traffic jams.

It would be nice if it was just a simple rear-end collision and scraping accident to deal with quickly, but because of the driving technical problems that affect life safety, it is really worth the loss. Therefore, when you go home for the Chinese New Year, you must be cautious when driving, after all, the biggest expectation of the family is to "come home safely".

Write at the end

Many people ridicule the "two tanks of oil a year" army to die to save face, and spend so much money for the car that can't be used a few times a year, but put yourself in the shoes of the person, who doesn't want to return to their hometown with glory and wealth, and staggered in flowers and applause, but most of us are ordinary people, but we look for self-worth in work and life day after day, and the happiness of having a car is not something that can be obtained by using the money to buy a car in other places.

As long as the location of the "two tanks of fuel a year" army does not affect public transportation and does not cause chaos to others, there is no need to ridicule and accuse them. Everyone has their own way of living, when the car they buy can take their parents to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, when it rains, they can pick up their wives from work, and when it rains, they can take their children out to play, just for a moment, then the car bought is worth it!
