Serious question. I only have the one car. I know there are people with more money than sense that have more cars than they can actually drive at a time, and that there are couples who may or may not be able to drive their SO to the mechanic. But how can they _assumef that I can even afford a cab, well Uber these days, when I’m about to have them hundreds of dollars getting my busted-ass, POS car fixed?

    I live in a Finnish midsized town with a population of roughly 80 000 people. My repair shop offers to drive you where you want to go, but you’re in charge of the way back to the shop when they call to say your car is fixed.

    It’s a great service, and it guarantees my loyalty to that shop!

      We have some loaner cars and will drop you off and pick you up if needed. It really is a cool thing and the word of mouth alone has gotten us enough business it’s almost nuts.
