That's certainly looking at the bright side.

On the other hand...can you not choose to ride your bike everyday even if your cars runs?

there are days when i want to take the car. when i have a hot date, or gotta look sharp at work, or when its 105 outside and i really wanna enjoy my AC. sometimes i just gotta bring a ton of junk with me.

multiple modes of transportation is very nice, got my own backup and dont need to rely on rides from anyone or the bus!

as the brightside- staying positive is the best way to handle it. i already know my car repair is costing me $500. i dont wanna be grumpy and frustrated, that wont lower my bill.

So, what happened to the new (relatively) whip?

during the process of putting on new springs- the lower control arm dropped all they way down and pulled the CV joint apart. apparently the design and "newness" of the car requires the whole driverside cv axle assembly to be replaced as a unit since it cannot be rebuilt or opened/serviced. i should have it back tonight or tomorrow morning. i miss the zoomzoom, but i would feel so much worse is my bike was out of commission.

$637 and 5 days later I got my car back. It's totally fine now, but dang that sucked.
