A couple of weeks ago my car died on the way home from work. Spraying fluids, smoke, convulsions, the whole bit. I can’t say I’ll miss it. This car has been trouble from the start. This comes only days after I realized that with gas, insurance, parking, and maintenance I’m paying a good $500 a month. So instead I will pay $3 an hour for Flexcar, including gas and insurance. At 10 hours a weekday, that comes out to about $600 a month to get to and from work. Plus, I get to drive a nice 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. Or if I want I can take a Honda Element for the same price. On top of that, it forces me into an 8-minute walk every morning and evening, since the car is a few blocks away. It’s really nice to be living somewhere that I can walk or take the bus or subway everywhere I need to go.
Now to figure out how to dispose of the POS car. Anybody need a 1994 Honda Accord steering wheel?
You know I want the steering wheel. This flexcar business is fucking brilliant!
