Ironically, I'm a driving instructor, and pretty much the only time I really use my car is when I'm at work.

Wait, your car? You're instructing learners in your own car? How does this work, doesn't your car need pedals for the passenger seat?
Yea, I ain't losing my car virginity unless there's a zombie apocalypse.
There’s so many fictional apocalypses where gas is somehow plentiful, don’t really get it. Long term, a good zombie apocalypse prepper would probably rely on solar panels and a bike.
That was brilliant in the Expanse, when the Earth was orbital bormbarded one of the protagonists immediately goes for bikes.
Fun fact: Robert Moses, the man who almost single-handedly fucked New York City beyond repair by building bridges and parkways while actively working against public transportation options like trains, buses and subways beginning in the 1930s, never learned to drive himself.
Robert Moses really deserves to be the patron demon of this sub.
Most recent 99pi episode or power broker?
There are also two episodes on behind the bastards
I traded in my car a couple of weeks ago and the guy at the dealer was so shocked that I only drove 11k miles in 4 years. He was like, do you even buy groceries? Well, working from home and strategically living close to all the places I regularly need to go to makes me drive less. As for me getting a new car after just 4 years, that’s another story.
Google had sent me an update of my usage for November and was all, "You drove 35 miles this month!"
It usually tells me things like 150 km, and then I go though and it's another misclassified train trip
