There's always something.
There's only been one time in my life where everything was going so good. That was a good month.
My only transport related problem is my bicycle's front derailer, I'm so close to tearing the whole thing off and staying on the second chainring.
If wasn't Juscelino Kubitschek and the auto industry lobby, Brazil would be walkable and full of choo choos right now. I hate Kubitschek!
This is why the JK street in São Paulo is a fucking hell.
Boy, ain't this the fuckin truth
Oh, totally this; but not just car stuff, it can be home stuff too. Just got slapped with a fat HVAC refrigerant refill. I had no idea this shit was so expensive. Over $2k for a recharge.
No car, no car problems.
This hits hard... I was just quoted 5000-8000€ repair for a sudden engine failure
I learned how to repair my own vehicles after I was quoted $2,600 to install a $40 part. I could've also had an entire rebuilt engine shipped and swapped it in myself for about half that, but I ultimately decided to go with the $40 + basic tools.
Your repair costs more than the car I bought factory new wtf
I wish I had car problems... I'm having wildfire problems.
I feel bad for you, son.
I've got 99 problems but a fire ain't one
Slept through my alarm this morning and walked out to my car with a flat tire.
Not as bad as the lemmings that got it stolen today tho
Holy shit why is this so true LMAO
It’s funny to think of life as a board game or a role playing game being played on the “astral plane” or whatever by our “higher selves.” Car problems etc are just really unfortunate dice rolls.
My car got stolen this morning. I feel this in my soul.
That's rough my dude 🫂

No car, no problem.
There are plenty of places where not having a car isn’t even a possibility. If I didn’t have a car, not only would I be unable to work, I’d probably also starve to death, or perhaps have to eat gas station food the rest of my life.
The place I'm planning to buy a home is so remote that I'm considering a backup car.
More car, more problem, but you do you
The nearest bus stop is an hour away, and it's for interstate transit. 🤷
It's not like you have no choice changing your plan moving into the middle of nowhere, is it?
It's complicated, but no, I don't.
Consider a motorcycle instead of a backup car ;)
Mo’privilege, less’problems
That’s what you sound like.
Unfortunately this one depends a lot where you live.
I never owned a car but I live in Canada and public transit sucks. Our provincial government is actively cutting funds to cities' public transit. And intercity routes are detained by VIA Rail or coach buses >!!<that sucks.
It's easier for me to go to the airport and in another country than move in my own province.
VIA Rail trains are infrequent, always late, pricey and most employees are jaded. They also don't take bikes. It's a problem. Sometimes you can get stuck as a prisoner on the train, without food, water or toilets for multiple hours.

Another one was stuck for 12 hours last year.
Coaches are cramped and also have very limited intercity services. The city I need to go to frequently only has three coaches a day at inconvenient times. They are usually full and they charge $15 to bring a bike.
I've been car free for 20 years but I've come to hate taking the train or coaches here. I'm slowly realizing that my province really really wants me to get a car.
