Recently, our 90-something Chevy Lumina had its tires slashed. It was nothing personal, just someone with a horrible sense of humor decided to slash the tires on every car parked on a quiet residential street near 82nd. Nonetheless, it amounted to 2 flat tires and only 1 spare.
So it sat, sad and alone, in our driveway for a week or so - until Boyfriend had the time to get the tires replaced. No sooner did he do so, than the battery died. As did the starter (double-punch!).
And again, it sits, sad and alone in our driveway. We've decided to donate it, most likely to the Oregon Humane Society, and instead get a couple of scooters!
We decided on this course of action for a number of reasons:
-Cars are expensive gas-hogs
-I feel like a douche driving the car for a distance less than 5 miles
-We are too lazy to ride bikes for distances over 2 miles (especially when cold and/or rainy)
-Also, we like animals and tax deductions
I've already purchased mine (I've got a good amount of low-interest credit). A super cute 49 cc 2005 Honda Metropolitan. From everything I've read, they're supposedly very reliable, with ridiculous mileage (around 90-100 mpg), cheap to insure and best of all: A-DOR-A-BUHLS.
