I don’t need to park ten bikes because I only have one and it folds up and fits in a closet or can roll behind me somewhat like a carry-on suitcase.

I don’t disagree with your experience regarding maintenance. Mine has been with a bike in Florida rain, where the streets run yellow with pine pollen in spring, and where the fog is of the Pacific’s salt air.

With my folding bike, I just find a place to park the car and peddle the last mile or don’t and just walk. A car doesn’t require me to park close.

Car or bike or foot, I tend to maintain my chill about the same frequency. I stopped competing for parking a few years ago. Cannabis helped. YMMV, but it helped on the internet too.

If you only have one then I especially don't understand what kind of compromise you need to make in relation to the floor space. It's the most efficient transit vehicle with regard to space, folded or not.

Your use case is ok, I have a friend that does something similar when his wife takes their car for the day. But even without a folding bike it would be trivial to put a rack for the bike on the back of the car.

Take care.
