Cold Wallet

It’s been another freezing cold day in London. I’ve had to drive my car to the only trusted garage in my area to get an MOT, and service, without being totally ripped off by the mechanics. Ironically enough when I arrived there, I realised the garage has changed hands, defeating the entire purpose of going there with my car in the first pal :)

I decided to give them a chance and see. I was expecting an astronomical bill anyway, considering how expensive everything s these days. I’ve received the estimate and it is eye-poppingly high. Funny enough, the car passed MOT without issue so, in theory, I could just pay for that and drive away until next year. However a car is something that you literally put your life, and others, on the line to drive. I think it’s every car owner’s responsibility to ensure their vehicle is in the best possible condition - including servicing it when the time comes, even if it passes the MOT.

To be honest a car is a luxury item in London unless you have young children. Even if you work unsociable hours, the public transport in this city is great. I know we like to complain about it, but it really is very good compared to most of the other large cities of the world. So, in essence, my car is a self-inflicted expense. I’d do well to sell it and buy crypto with the money and hide it away in my cold wallet haha.

Peace & Love,
