monkeydelarge: Yeah, I'm thinking about just using a bicycle for the rest of my life. Sure, people will laugh at me and think I'm a loser when they see an adult man riding a bicycle but why should I care what others think. I will save a lot of $$$. Maybe you can get a bicycle and use that instead of your car unless you have to go somewhere really far or go on a date with a girl(in those situations, best to use your car)?
I'm thinking of a bike as an option. There is a shopping center less than a 10 min drive from my place. While walking there would take entirely too long, especially if I was carrying stuff, it would be doable on a bike. Plus its good exercise and there is a bike trail nearby.
I'll probably get the car fixed eventually, just probably won't be for a few months.
