30-day challenge - Day 15: A device that you own but never use/touch.

I pondered this for a while, then when I got home from work, the answer was staring right back at me. Last year our car broke down while we were on a day trip. It got a ride back to the mechanic on a tow truck, and then back to our house when we found out the entire engine needed replacing :( I spent most of last year carless (no mean feat in Melbourne, which has some of the worst public transport in Australia). The poor broken car is still sitting in the car port, waiting for my partner to finally call the wrecker to collect it. (He's lousy with phones, as am I). We got a replacement car at the end of last year, but I still feel sad about our old car, which was my first 'proper' car.

Cars should just keep going - no petrol, no tyres, no servicing - just start and keep on going.

I hat being car-less, certainly a major device to go unused and unusable!

[Beth]

I can't imagine being carless. There is no public transportation where I live. Your picture is great.

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Creative shot! Your story was sad but I am happy that you have a replacement!

[Courtney]

Neat! Sorry about your car! That is something that is hard to be without if there's not proper transportation. I hope you like the replacement, but the first will always have a special place in your heart.
