I had my first car accident yesterday :(

[gr8tdesert]

Having a car and having to drive to work is excruciatingly painful

Reasons:
1) Stress induced by traffic
2) The never ending increase in gas prices
3) Expensive car maintenance
4) Car insurance
5) Once you wreck/damage your car, you have to buy another one/get it repaired because you have to transport yourself to work and make a living!

Solution:
Move into

Are you ok?

I've not had a wreck for years, but I remember the one I had very plainly.

Frightening...

I find walking to work very low stress. The only minus is probably going to be in a few months when it's ridiculously warm outside.

I would say Metro is not low stress compared to driving. I guess it depends on how many stops you have and how close your home and work is to the Metro. Plus it's so crappy that I found it taking longer at least once a week back when I commuted on the Orange Line from Ballston. So some days it's better than driving and some days it is not.

Hope you're okay!
I feel like commuting both by car and Metro is pretty stressful... maybe I should just move out into the boonies. haha*
