The "weekend warrior". A car that its owners don't really need because they work from home and only drive it once a month to visit friends or do the occasional Costco run. As residential parking is so heavily subsidised in Boston they don't care their car is mostly a space saver.

I upgraded to an off-street parking spot. Worth it.

Which is fine. You know why I have cars? So I can wrench on them and take them on fun drives/ errands that are more convenient by car. I have one car I probably won’t drive until April and another that I use maybe 1 or 2x a week. Work from home is a godsend

I know. I actually can’t wait to try it out. I’m a block away from the new Gilman Sq station

Do you have moments of clarity where you gain self-awareness or is it just obliviousness all the way down

I don’t really care to argue with people about my choices. Not everyone needs to live in a modern 500 sqft studio with no parking or outdoor space. If people do great more old apartments with character for me to choose from
