I think it’s insane how much you can spend on one! All I wanted to do last weekend was rent an Audi S4 from turo, and the guy wanted $500! It’s OK: maybe I’ll just dump my 13 year old Element and get a 10 year old Element instead. That’s only like $8k. Add insurance, maintenance, gas, and the thing you can get that…

I hate car drivers. They are entitled beyond belief. Whenever I’m riding with traffic as far right as practical, they buzz by me with inches to spare even though they’re pushing 2 tons of steel. So all of us on bikes have reason to worry we’re going to get hit even if we’re following the law.
