Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

I drive a metal bike. It's a bit heavy but for €200 it's good and I save on gym and stuff. I regret not getting the front basket. Please don't repeat the same mistake I did, it's not worth it when you go for groceries.

I got a front tray thingy, strongly recommend. It means my cargo volume is limited only by my own ingenuity with my elastic cords, i.e. still quite a lot but a bit less than with a basket.

You know you can get a trailer for the bike. I made one and use it to get groceries and it has plenty of space. Holds almost as much as my small car.

I do know but then I would occupy almost as much space as your small car. (I don't have the storage space for your small car)

OK. I hear you but for the record I meant the trunk space of my small car, not the whole car. They make bike trailers in different sizes and some fold up.
