I had an oil change a year ago and the window sticker mileage tells me I've logged a little less than 200 miles in that year.

I figure I pay almost $5 per mile for car insurance. But what can I do? The state and the insurance companies have me in their grip. Maybe I should just get rid of the car and call a taxi when it's time to do my monthly grocery shopping.
