Cargo trailer. Not that complicated.
Even more importantly, get a cab? Seriously? That's the stupidest logic I've ever heard. Yeah in an emergency, get a cab.
No one I live with owns a car. Only two or three friends own cars and live further away. Basically, we live car-free in the city and if an emergency strikes, I can easily walk outside my apartment and hail a taxi in no more than 2 mins - just like I've done before (dislocated shoulder). I could also easily walk to the nearest hospital - distances in the city are quite small. Two miles is a long distance in such a dense environment.
What's your answer for how I transport my race car, on my trailer, to the track? A big ass cab?
Oops, I forgot that cars are evil so that shouldn't even happen.
I dont believe in the concept of good or evil, honestly, and I certainly do not believe that a material object is inherently good or evil. However, I do think automobiles are socially problematic and economically unsustainable when used as they've have been since the post-World War II boom - the sooner you learn this, the better off you'll be.
