Petrol/gas, tyre replacement, rego, car upkeep, etc etc etc. Amazing how much money people will spend on cars :\
I'll be picking up a motorbike soon, but no doubt I'll still use public transport quite a bit. Some cases (like working in le city) it's actually easier.
Im not sure if you were reffering to my comment at his insurance price on how much people spend on cars. But, i am totally jealous of $1180. Mine is over $5000
