    car care in general will cost you more than riding public transport.

    Theres the cost o storing the car which requires a garage or patking lot to protrct it from elements,

    The maintenance for th e oil , the transmission, axles , engine, windows , windshiled wipers and fluid, tires, etc…

    Theres the insurance

    AND THEN theres the gas

        Great point I didnt even remember that!

        Ige come to realization over the years that Ive been able to save thousands upon thousands of dollars all because Ive opted to just walk everywhere rather than buy or rent a car. Now Im obviously not a millionaire but holy shit Im sure my account would be reading negatives every week if I did own a car.

        I feel a n unusual nt of concern for those who are poor but also dont have widely available wheel trans in their municipalities and use their car to transport disabled relatives or associates…
