Yes, my hobbyist motorcycle track riding, self maintenance etc are massively hampered by apartment living (where they have dozens of rules against the things I expressly want to do like change my own oil).
And if I have to take the motorcycle to a mechanic to pay $140 to do a $20 parts and labor job. Suddenly that car free life (garage free life) is costing me $120 more this month.
- throwaway22032 4y agoI feel for you man. I'm a fairly intellectual guy, but all of this stuff seems to come from the really bookish people that just spend basically all of their time in academic pursuit. Someone else fixes their plumbing, someone else built their house, someone else drives the bus (imagine them being a bus driver? ridiculous). Anything that involves physical work, not even getting your hands dirty but any kind of practical thing, is someone else's problem. If you don't do any of that then of course you don't need a car, you don't even need to move from your desk. I feel pretty lonely sometimes as someone who tries to straddle both.
