It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

Damn! I hope you're doing better.

I ride 10 miles daily on my bicycle and drivers scare the hell out of me. I always assume they can't see me and are going to do the wrong thing because they usually do!

I had to sell my old coupe to buy a pickup - but it was necessary for the homestead to haul dirt and other supplies for the farm. Although I rarely drive it (I'd rather be bicycling and burning calories while saving gas!). I'm waiting for the EV industry to evolve and then my plan is to buy a nicer older small EV with very limited range so I can scoot around town when needed - something like the BMW i3.... but less ugly hahaha
