on NOT DRIVING

(image from MATT B MEDIA and its pretty dope.)

i didn't start NOT DRIVING by choice. (truthfully, like most of us, i couldn't get to work without my car. so my first day without the old truck was my first day looking for a new job... but i digress) no, it was by accident. well, actually by getting IN an accident. nobody was hurt, the old beauty just lost a wheel on the highway...

well, whatever the original reason, i've stuck to NOT DRIVING for almost a year now. and truthfully not driving sucks sometimes. but you know what? its CHEAP!!

and i don't mean that like low-quality, i mean you save BUNDLES OF CASH by not owning a car. its almost amazing. another amazing thing: its SO easy to rent a car and go on a road trip once in a while (not to mention those 'zipcar' and local carshare groups). they wash it for you! AND you can pretty much bargain on any price they offer if you don't rent at the airport.

additionally, i think its really reduced my stress levels. i love cruisin' down the open road on a sunny afternoon, but driving in city traffic makes me INSANE! road rage probably causes more heart attacks than smoking.

so anyways, next time im out for a cruise, it'll probably be on my bike. so keep your eyes open, a-hole.
