Last but not least, I had the ability to just let the car sit. I didn’t need it for anything. It wasn’t the way I was going to make my rent money that month, it wasn’t the way I was going to get my child to the hospital. It was just a car that I was driving for fun. And that’s the biggest kind of Privilege! I can imagine. Wherein we arrive at a key point of strategy in cheap vehicles. Have two. I spent half of college riding a pair of $500 motorcycles. On any given day there was a good chance one was broken with the engine sitting on my driveway- but I never once missed a day of class, thanks to redundancy. Of course that did mean I had to invest $1,000 into vehicles instead of $500. Privilege!, I suppose, but a smaller one.
