Which of the following is NOT a cost associated with owning a vehicle?

The choice concerning clothing expenses stands out as it is not a direct cost of vehicle ownership. When you own a vehicle, there are specific expenses that are inherently tied to its operation and maintenance. Gas is essential for fueling the vehicle, and repair or replacement parts are necessary for keeping the vehicle in good working order. Leasing, while not applicable to ownership in the traditional sense, can still be considered a cost associated with the use of a vehicle. However, clothing expenses do not have a direct link to the ownership or operation of a vehicle; they are a personal expense that exists independently of vehicle-related needs. Therefore, clothing expenses do not fall under the typical costs one would consider when owning a vehicle.
