So stupid.

I've been trying to sell it for two months now and it's still in my parking lot. Apparently no one wants to pay anything over about $800, which is not worth it for me.

I tried the car rental thing over LSPR two weeks ago and Enterprise (a two mile bike ride from work) charged $40/day for insurance, which helped raise my five-day rental to about $350. I wanted a "Chevy Spark or similar", hoping for a hatchback, and got "upgraded" to a Hyundai Elantra sedan. The car had low mileage and worked flawlessly for me. It had manumatic to keep me sane and a painters tape grille block to get me 41mpg on the highway.

But $350! For five days!

That's insane. It doesn't seem like other rental places are much better, and certainly none are closer.

I emailed my insurance agent to see how difficult it would be to switch insurance on and off of this thing. I've been wanting it gone for months, and now I'm leaning toward keeping it. It needs a hundred dollars or so in rust repair for that water leak, and I'd need that done immediately.

I'll need to fight the temptation to spend money on the car, but I think I may be able to be frugal about it.
