This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I never thought about it like that! I did in fact buy the car specifically to go to the grocery store and don't use it for anything else
Have you considered renting? Depending on the business model, that could be very cheap if it's just a couple of hours per week.
Renting a car? Oh... You mean like, subscribing? The type of payment model where the consumer always ends up overpaying when needing to use the service for extended periods of time?
Where I live, the concept is called "car sharing". There are two small cars just across the street and if I need one, it costs 2,50 € per hour plus maybe 0,30 € per kilometer, fuel included. So if I need to make a weekly grocery run to one of the large stores, it's probably just a little over 10-12 Euros for three hours all told.
Now, I own a car that's older and too cheap to not keep it for longer drives when I am seeing my family (roughly an hour each way) at the weekends, but for my day-to-day needs, I probably shouldn't own one.
