I hate to spend money on cars.
I hate to maintain cars.
I hate car repairs.
I hate spending money on gas.
I hate having to wash the car.
I hate spending money on taxes for the car year after year.
I hate paying insurance for a car.
I hate driving cars.
I hate traffic.
I hate people that have almost killed me on the road.
I hate sun in your eyes when driving due east or west.


I wish that cars were not needed.

I love to spend money on cars.
I love to maintain cars.
I enjoy car repairs.
I hate spending money on gas.
I like having to wash the car.
I don't mind paying insurance for a car, since it's for something that I love.
I get a chub driving cars.
I don't mind traffic too much.
I love screwing with people on the road.
I love it when the sun is in your eyes when driving due east or west, and you're wearing a great pair of sunglasses.


I wish everyone shared my excitement about them :)

I love just jumping in my truck and just driving somewhere. Anywhere. For hours.

I hate 2 things, heavy traffic and idiots who got a licence by giving a BJ to the tester.

I hate cars too. If cars were banned in the city then it would be easy to take my bike to work. For that matter, if they just built some dang bike lanes. As it is, ever since a car swerved off the road to hit my sister's fiance I've been reluctant to bike on the same roads as cars, especially since the road right by my house is 45mph and people speed like crazy and there's no shoulder or sidewalk. I used to bike five miles to work every day rain, sleet, and snow. If there were more bike lanes in cities and towns, then gas prices would be lower.

I love my car. I love to wash and work on it. I hate it when something goes wrong of course.. heh. But yeah... our society (US anyway), is extremely focused on needing a car for transportation. Depending on where you live, public transport might be sufficient enough. I wish it were like that for me.. takes me about an hour to get to work.. and traffic is a bitch. public transportation.. will extend that time to maybe 1:30-1:45.. it sucks.

Some people turn cars into a hobby, just like computers. If you treat them like the tools they are, they won't be as expensive or time consuming.

Be as smart about your transportation purchases, as you are about Hot Deals for PC hardware. Worry more about function, less about aesthetics, and pocket a bushel of otherwise wasted money.

Nobody likes paying for utilities or insurance, but you'd never consider living without them. Same with transportation fuel and coverage. Just consider it another utility bill.

Make sure you live near your place of employment. That cuts down the traffic frustration, and fuel use tremendously.
