You forgot the [SARCASM] tags. I'm not a slave to my car. I paid cash for it, and due to my good driving record, insurance is $30/month. Petrol cost about $20-30/week. Rego was $300. So it costs me roughly $150 a month. That's about what we pay for electricity here. And we still use our bikes on weekends for light grocery shopping and coffee runs. But I guess I'm the bad guy for owning a car at all.
