General Discussion

I paid $900 for my my favorite car ever, I put less than $1,000 into it to make it reliable, and it was destroyed a few years later by some distracted driver who drove up across the sidewalk and crashed into it while it was parked in my driveway.

Meh. Just a car.

If we, as a nation, had any sense we'd be rebuilding our cities so that car ownership was largely unnecessary.

I resent the fact that I have to own a car to be considered a fully functional adult in this society.

All the cars I've owned in the twenty-first century are a big flaming "fuck you" to car culture. These cars say, nope, I don't care about cars.

If I ever come across an electric or plug-in hybrid for one or two thousand dollars I'm likely to buy it. I'm a pretty good mechanic.

Otherwise I'll refrain from encouraging car culture.

I bought a new car once in the 'eighties when I was young and foolish and full of myself. I'll never do that again.
