Why do I want such a small, slow, ugly car?

The trouble with travel is that public transport in the UK is stupidly overpriced for what it is, and they keep rising the damned prices (£5 to go 8 miles on the train?! Are they stupid??).
List of things you have to fork out for:
  • Lessons
  • License
  • Test
  • Car
  • Petrol
  • Insurance
  • Road Tax
  • M.O.T.
  • Stupid repairs
If you happen to crash into someone
  • Stupidly high insurance after claim.

I may have left out some things, but I'm not including any types of fines you'll get for speeding or bad parking. And you car will vary on how much fuel it chows down on and you'll most likely by a starter car which will om nom nom your wallet.

Paying for public transport is a hell of a lot cheaper than owning a car and owning a car has only a few upsides; you don't need to share with stupid, smelly people and you have the luxury to fuck off to wherever you wish at your own convenience.

And by the way, five quid for eight miles is actually not that expensive.
