I turned "greener" 3 weeks ago. I only used my van about 2-3 miles a
week. Had been planning to get rid of it by end of May before inspection
time but it broke 3 weeks ago, and not worth fixing for the little
driving that I do.

I've never been without a vehicle to drive but, since the weather is
getting nicer, I'm going to try using a bicycle and occasional taxi or
Uber to see how that works out for me.

If it sucks, I'll buy some old car again.
