I've felt your pain before. I have an old car. Her name is Ruby and I love her because she's my first car but there are times where I need to get her fix and she costs an arm and leg. Thankfully, my parents pay for it but I want to help her out.
Are you serious? The car I learned to drive in was a red minivan I named Ruby. That's so cool!
Maybe they're distant cousins.
But definitely, a morning commute that you can read or listen to music on would be so much better than fighting traffic. At least someone else would be able to do it for you.
But isn't traffic in California supposed to be horrible?
Traffic is bad during rush hour in all the highways and freeways, particularly if you're close to a big cluster of cities, ie the San Francisco, Oakland, and the Bay Area, or the LA basin. Traffic in those areas are a nightmare. The 405 in LA is basically a parking lot during rush hour and it has four or five lanes per side, I believe. They recently widened it to ease traffic flow. Hahaha, I think it did the opposite.
I live in northern CA now in Sonoma County where there is literally one freeway to get you south towards San Francisco. Although they have and are still in the process of widening the roads here, the traffic is really bad during rush hours, but not like the 405. Outside of rush hour, driving isn't that bad though, unless of course someone is stupid enough to crash into a telephone pole on an easy stretch of highway (this has happened at least twice that I know of). But since rush hour can't be avoided, I've pretty much resigned myself to leaving the house at 6:35-6:45 AM just to make my commute 30-45 minutes rather than an hour and a half. At least when I leave that early I can hang out in the car pool lane until 7:00 AM so I can avoid the people who don't believe that the fast lane is in fact the fast lane. Apparently everyone who wants to drive however they feel like think that because there is one extra lane that they don't need to be polite anymore. >_>
