You are definitely singing the song of my people. I bought my car when I was working 2 jobs with heavy overtime, and it mattered a lot that I could drive 20 minutes instead of the 1hr bus ride. I put about 20k kilometers on the odometer. Things changed recently, and I've found myself doing maintenance on it based on a time schedule rather than distance. I could buy 200 round-trip Uber rides per year for what I'm paying.

I tried getting into cycling, but there's a lack of cycle paths and protected bike lanes here. It's one of those areas that has "sharrows." Pro tip: drivers do not share the road even with the sharrows.
