Serious question. I only have the one car. I know there are people with more money than sense that have more cars than they can actually drive at a time, and that there are couples who may or may not be able to drive their SO to the mechanic. But how can they _assumef that I can even afford a cab, well Uber these days, when I'm about to have them hundreds of dollars getting my busted-ass, POS car fixed?

You can still walk, can't you? (PleaseHaveLegs,PleaseHaveLegs,PleaseHaveLegs...)

Lemmy users are mostly Americans. You can't really walk anywhere in the US unless you're in a mall or a long distance runner. Everything is spread out.

With 4 lane roads and 80 km/h traffic separating anywhere you would want to actually walk.

Place I take my car too, 10 minute drive... 3 and 1/2 hour walk one way back home. Or I could go to the nearest town which is 2 hours and 50 minutes away the other way.
