As of High Noon

The Celica is out the door. I will need to ride 15 miles to Saint Paul to borrow a car for the next few days until we grab the SUV. Suddenly it is less a choice and more of a necessity. I feel a strange ambivalence. On the flip side, car ownership is a huge liability. They are maintenance time bombs. I could build another commuter bike from the ground up for the cost of even a minor automotive repair. Our loaner car won't be too shabby- an Audi A6, until we swap it for a Navigator. I really am burning the candle at both ends. It would be more poetic to borrow a mid-80s Dodge.
