Get busy on the learning to drive. Self-sufficiency is the best medicine of all.

A car is an expensive pet. It can be a useful one, even a necessary one, but there's a certain minimum of money and time and grief involved in *owning* one. While I agree that it's important to know how to drive, being able to get around in a variety of ways.

Regardless, it's really good to see you again Ibram!

Amortized from purchase date to now (about 3.5 years), including purchase price, gas, insurance, registration, and maintenance, mine costs me about $30 a day.
