Having a car is a luxury! Every place in the country (no matter which country it is) has public transportation that is easily accessible, so if you're truly poor then you're either walking (ten miles, uphill, in the snow...) or taking the bus/train/tube.

If you have money for gas and car insurance, then obviously you have money for food, health insurance, and that hooker the other night.

*cough* Sorry, and yes, I agree.
