Well that’s finally one saga over. I have wheels again! I think I’ve grown grey in my eyebrows from the stress.
Tomorrow I shall start organising insurance, put in a dashcam, look up places to get quotes for a new head unit, set up direct debits for rego, shop for seat covers and all the rest. And tidy my godawfully messy carport with months of dead leaves and crap accumulated. My neighbours will probably be rolling their eyes and sighing, “at last”…
You should organise insurance first (you should have done that before you picked it up). There is a cooling off period so you can cancel if you find a better deal when you have time, but you don’t want to be without it.
Yeah, I normally would’ve organised insurance first but it was touch and go as to whether this sale was even happening this week. It’s the first thing on my list for tomorrow.
I feel so much lighter and free, even though I’m once again chained to the regular expenses of a car. No more faffing around with carshares at odd hours, constantly checking PT times, carrying around a coat and charger, leaving things behind at home, saying no to catchups…

That is good news.

Congrats! That must be a relief!

It’s unfortunate but Melbourne does not lend itself to getting around particularly easily with PT.
@wscholermann @just_kitten The inner suburbs where there’s trams isn’t that bad. Or along train lines.
But anywhere that you need to get to by bus… *shudders*
(And how is it the Belgrave line has half hourly trains during most of the day?!)
Past 10km, the suburbs are woefully car dependent. Busses and shared bike lanes as an after thought are terrible.
