Shitty week thus far.

Volls, this is why I've sworn off cars. Public transit and a bike is the way to go. You've already got the girlfriend, so who are you trying to impress? Buy a good BMX (unless you're one of them "mountain bike" queers), become familiar with the city bus/train system and watch your insurance/repair/fuel issues float effortlessly out the window.

Problem is Raz, it would take me about 3 hours or so to get to my workplace.

Believe me, I'm not impressing ANYONE with my car, working or not.
