It’s not weird to you probably because you’re used to terrible infrastructure. One car and multiple bicycles. Or just no car at all and multiple bicycles. And good public transport. Now those are reasonable things to have. Not two cars.
I work 25 miles (40km) away, and transit would take >2x as long as driving
we like road trips
So, I have a commuter to get to/from work because transit takes too long. We have a family car for going on a yearly road trip. We used to have a single car (I used to bike to work), and the only thing keeping us to two cars is that commute, but I like the company and the team, so I stick with it. But maybe we’ll drop back down to one car when I change jobs and no longer need the commute.

Here’s our situation:

To me, that’s pretty reasonable.
In other words; terrible fucking infrastructure. As u said earlier.
