I noticed that the chuds were hurting when they started asking questions about the little car I (used to) drive. Wanting to know how much gas it used. Wanting to know if it is reliable.
In 2005 I was riding a bicycle to work and loving it, sadly it’s now a 70 mile round trip to work, and it would all be along roads that would 100% get me killed on a bicycle. Which sucks because I always feel so good after a decent ride.
Ive decided on harm reduction and sort of a new hobby - I bought one of the first production electric cars, a second generation Leaf. It was ridiculously cheap and it’s easily rebuildable, even the battery. Its fun watching my supervisor sneer at the little car while also bitching about having to drive a diesel-powered 1 ton truck 80 miles a day for 5 dollars a gallon.
I drive a tiny ICE and yeah there are some things that don’t fit in it, but I’ve shocked people with what I can fit in it. Add in a turning radius that shocked a friend and I’m firmly committed to the hatchback subcompact life. Going electric when mine dies too. Unfortunately I only get like 30 mpg
I still have my little combustion engine car, a Mitsubishi Mirage sedan. 3 cylinders and a manual transmission, reliable as a hammer for the last 170,000 miles. My personal best was loading a 12ft long extendable telescoping handle.

Small car logistics is fun.
