If there was a reasonable chance of finding one I'd go and search. But the chance is too slim for me to keep looking. It's just not worth spending 50+ hours looking for a vehicle. And on top of it, as you said: you have nowhere to drive it to and will be constantly scared of loosing it. Besides the cars there's not much in this game for me anymore. I've got some cool stuff and some weapons and don't have much trouble surviving now. Guns used to be my goal but after I found some I've learned they're pretty much useless, except for some emergency or self-defense. They attract more zombies than you can kill with them. I made a new goal to find a vehicle only to learn that they're close to impossible to find. Now I have nothing interesting to do in this game unless I plan to spend the next month playing only Day Z. Besides the vehicles you can't do much. Can't build an actual safe house or at least a secure camp, cause somebody's probably gonna raid it while you're gone or offline. I theory this game sounded great, but in reality it gets old too fast for me. Next.

I read that vehicles respawn after a week of not being used or getting destroyed. I know that you generally have to repair them first. I just wish to have seen at least one that is broken, so I had a chance of grabbing it before someone else. I love the game but if it's that hard to get a vehicle (not to mention a chopper), it's not worth playing anymore for me. I know myself, I won't have enough patience to do this. I've got some gear cool gear, but now I'm supposed to wonder around aimlessly always afraid of getting killed with little hope of ever finding a vehicle. I have other games I'd like to play.

I'm pretty new to DayZ and I have a question: How the heck am I supposed to find a vehicle ? They're never at their spawn points cause somebody already took them. Server restart doesn't reset them. AFAIK the only way to get one is to stumble upon a one that has been hidden by another player. That's not exactly easy. I've played it for like 20 h and haven't even seen a vehicle. I like the fact that if you find one you can hide it and everything, but it's almost impossible to get one which makes the above moot. Do I have to play for like 24/7 hoping that someone crashed his car a week ago and I'll be lucky enough to be at the right spawn at the right time ?
