Just got a tow from the side of the highway. I feel like I’ve been jumping from car issue to car issue my whole life. I don’t even want to have a car.

No advice needed or anything, just venting.

    I’m in the process of getting my license, because the fucking countryside means either that, two and a half plus hours’ daily commutes or unemployment.

    Fuck me, my first lesson involving actual driving was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. Especially since, from talking to people I know online and IRL, I got thrown into an unusually deep end immediately and the instructor kept screaming at me.

    I was able to try my mom’s small car after that in a public training area and the much lower power, not needing to actively look down to see the speed, RPM, etc., not being in city traffic and not having a screaming old guy who probably learned this job in the army next to me made it a significantly more pleasant experience.

    If public transportation were more like in Berlin or Japan, there’d be absolutely 0 competition from cars.
