Owning a car in Japan

There was an interesting article about "the cost of owning a car in Japan," so I would like to introduce it by translating it in English.
 
Let's say you are buying the 200 mil. yen car by 60 months loan.
The monthly payment is 3.5 mil.
Having parking space costs about 1 mil. yen per month. (But if it's in and around the major cities, it costs at least 3 mil. yen per month.)
Vehicle inspection fee is about 7.5 mil yen per year, so it's about 6,250 yen per month.
Car insurance costs about 5 mil. yen per year; that's 4,200 yen per month.
Vehicle tax is about 34,500 yen per year or 2,875 yen per month.
Plus maintenance cost such as, changing engine oil and tires, also gasoline, toll fee, so on - the average cost for them is 176,000 yen per year or 14,700 yen per month.
   
Total: 73,025 yen per month.
   
Say you ride taxi for 1,500 yen per time.
For 73,025 yen, you can ride taxi for about 48 times (and/or bus and/or train.)
 
Well.  That could be something you may want to reconsider to save your budget.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week.  Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login.            I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet.    What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias.        Well, these are my new pages:    Please give your "like" on my pages.  You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.      

Since FB banned my account again..
