Lately I have been dealing with the urge to go ahead and just buy a new freaking car, but then I shop for one and decide not to… actually I exclaim “fuck this” and then I sulk for a few minutes until something shiny distracts me for long enough to start the cycle over again.
The problem as I see it is our economy has degraded to the point that getting a loan for a car thrusts you into indentured servitude to your masters at your job site. I know its a bleak way to look at things and I admit that I have a tendency to be a bit dramatic whenever people have the ability to hold anything over me, but cmon, do I really have to be in debt simply to go to work only to pay my debt? It really is a vicious cycle.
So last night I was having trouble sleeping, as always, then it hit me. I have all this free time lately, I am going to make a god damned electric car. Most electric cars (or conversions) only have an approximate range of 40 miles, but really thats all I need to get to and from work and if I were to charge the car at work then I would get approx 80 miles of range per day, which is more than enough. So I am going to start shopping for a good car to convert.
Addendum:
I will just start riding my bike. Making an electric car is just as bad as the other problem I was having, and bad for the world.
I think you should ride a bike. You add the irriation of stupid drivers, but you get fresh air, exercise and you really get to make an impact. One Less Car, brotha.
chris turned into a goddamn hippie. (though bikes are an excellent idea.)
