I'm down to driving 1-2 times per month and I'm terrified every time I get behind the wheel. The only reason I keep a car is to visit family that lives about 130km away since the Republicans in my area have killed every train project between my hometown and my parents' town. permalink fedilink source parent [–] coffeeaddict@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (3 children) Wait is this really true??
