I want my car, and I want 100 others. I just can't afford all the cars I want. Most of the people I know also want more cars or sportier, more expensive cars.
So, in your view, a car is more like an accessory than a mode of transport.
It's an enabler of more. It allows me to transport me and my family to the movies when we want, it allows us to go camping, it also means we can easily traverse many shops and buy what we want without having to worry about how to get it home, etc.
When we buy groceries, we buy them in bulk and keep meats in a freezer out back, so it's easy to transport a whole trunk-load of groceries home.
It's as much as an accessory as that too. It's like clothing. I like my small 2 seaters, and as a family we like to drive around and play ingress/pokemon go, together.
