I walk to work. It takes me around 5 minutes. My wife used to walk to
work and it took about the same time, but she got a job in another part
of the city and now we need a car. Shame really. I hate cars and I hate
driving. I prefer riding a motorbike.

I wish I could've resisted, but my wife likes having a car.
