Welp, I talked to my brother yesterday... some time this month or in very early June, he will be taking custody of... my car. I'll have enough money to buy one if I want to (I offered to take his 300,000 mile HOnda as a trade-in 'cause it's basically all the car I'd need but he has other plans for it) but I'm going to see how long I can go car-free.
It's ironic but it will probably be *harder* in the summer than winter, since summer is when I would be inclined to travel to a bike ride somewhere.
It's all about the Gore-Tex :-) And we'll see about the thing I just ordered from Steep and Cheap...
