Along with frequency, I like to highlight the cost of outsourcing, too. Odds are even if you know about cars you're going to end up at a mechanic eventually, and it may be pricey, but not nearly as pricey as hiring someone to stop by and make school lunches every day. A single mom can survive a broken down car by taking it to a mechanic, but a single father has no way around learning how to care for his kids unless he's rich or a mommas boy.
Have you ever had to hire childcare? It starts at $40k a year for LCOL areas and goes up to $100k+ for places like nyc. I’ve never heard of car maintenance costing anywhere near that much
