Even though my car was fully paid off, maintaining it was no longer worth the expense.

    I‘m a poor apprentice and I have a 25 y/o 50cc 2-stroke scooter. It’s great. Gets me everywhere (that isn’t too far away) and costs almost nothing. Even with horrendous gas prices a full tank costs like 10€ and usually lasts me a month. And, here in Germany, 50cc scooters don’t need registration or tax, just insurance and that’s less than 40€ a year.

    Only in winter it’s a bit unpleasant (and borderline suicidal in snowy/icy conditions) but that’s only a few weeks out of the year…
