    Why don’t you register your car or pay insurance? Do you have magic tires that never need to be replaced? Is gas approximately $0/gal where you live? Or does you car get such insane gas milage that driving any distance uses approximately 0 gallons of gas?

    That doesn’t even take into account the ridiculous cost to tax payers of maintaining roads for personal vehicles. Even worse you’re completely ignoring the latent expenses like the terrible health costs associated with air pollution from exhaust and tires, the stress of traffic, and the sedentary life style that your little metal box demands of you.

    I think your car costs a lot more for you to operate than you realize but you’re so conditioned to paying a subscription fee to exist you happily fork over your money without a second thought.
