Cars
I find myself seated in the waiting area of the nearby Saturn dealership. Let me be the first to say that hell doesn’t need any kind of special reception area: it could simply send people here. Initially I was excited to see what appeared to be a different and thoroughly professional experience ahead of me, but when the very detailed report of my issues that I had described (humiliatingly) over the phone last week was nowhere to be found, along with any record of my appointment, my high hopes shrank to infinitesimal ones. After describing all the sounds my vehicle is making again (humiliatingly), I was presented with a promised bill of at least $89.95 for diagnostic time and asked to watch this horrible mother enact her corporal punishment fantasies on her poorly mannered youngster. I need to be more careful about letting myself get stuck in these situations. When the gut say run, you run.
Also I can’t wait to move to a city and get free of the four-wheeled tyrant. ![[WS]](/blog/media/end.gif)
Yes, not having a car is AWESOME. You save so much money and stress, and you feel pretty good walking down the sidewalk while other people are digging their cars out of the snow.

I say get away from snow while you’re at it. Upon my return to the States in January I’ll be carless and plan to stay that way.
