   @veff @WashedOutGundamPilot @latein I was without a car for a week once while waiting for a repair part I ordered to be delivered (Oh, BTW fuck the USPS). I was lucky I had a motorcycle and the weather that week was just barely warm enough not to freeze to death commuting to work in the morning. Still, it sucked because my fairly sporty motorcycle didn't have hard case storage for fragile goods like eggs. Fortunately I have people who could give me a ride if I needed it. But that week reminded me of the old Honda PC800 from back in the 90s.

   Honda had their automotive division design the body of that bike, and the back seat folded up to reveal a small trunk big enough to hold two grocery bags. The idea was a bike that had some of the perks of a car. Unfortunately it never sold well and was discontinued. But if you can find one close by they can be had for fairly cheap, for fairly low milage too. And motorcycles are much easier to work on than cars if you can get a decent front/back stand kit for it.
