Ever since I saw how bad the infestation of cars is in the streets all around me, I just don’t find the idea of buying my own car very appealing anymore, in my small and dense town, every new vehicle on the street is a problem when the streets are tight and people already double park in many spots.

However, I do drive around my parents cars when I need to cause public transit here isn’t the best but I try to utilize it as much as I could.

Nevertheless, long gone are the times when I used to watch YT chaneels like carwow and hoping that I get to own the cars that I see, I can maybe compare my resentment towards buying a vehicle to the idea of buying cigarettes or alcohol to someone who quit either, a silly comparison but I hope it gives you an idea.

      I want an e-bike, but they seem too big of a target for theft. There’s steps you can take, but lengthy lock setup and battery removal almost removes their convenience.

      I would definitely get an ebike at some point, it isn’t terribly popular around here still, but usage is definitely growing as I see more people riding.
