the car decision

I decided not to reinstate my car insurance. My car is so jacked-up, that I feel it is dangerous to drive. That makes me sad. So very sad. It makes me sad to know that my car's Kelly Blue Book value is around $2800, but I have around $4500 in damages and wear to the car. I honestly don't know if I should put up the money to have it fixed, or just buy a new used car later on.

I am sad, but I am also...glad I am not driving. Driving is so damn stressful because of all the idiots I'll encounter on the road. I cannot tolerate people who weave, don't use their directional signals, yield at stop signs, and tail-gate. It drives me crazy. Do these assholes realize they are operating a piece of hardware that weighs at least 2000 pounds? They don't, but I do. The only thing I ask is that people drive while thinking and concentrating on the road, not blathering on a goddamn cell phone, or having a temper-tantrum because the traffic isn't going as fast as they want.

I am also glad I am not driving because I don't have to spend the money on fantastically expensive gasoline, I won't have to keep my car insured, and I don't have to deal with parking -- and paying for parking. I just hope I have the patience to deal with public transportation for the next six months.
