Stuck without a car

This sucks im stuck without a car but by choice i guess. My car is currently getting an air ride suspension and after that a bomex ground effect kit. I will probably not have my car for 3 weeks as im told this stinks. I was just wondering what do you all do when you dont have a car or are unable to drive?? Do you hitch a ride with friends? or have a spare car?? Im hitching rides and working ways to find a car which sucks cant wait to get my car back

The few times I've had my car out of commision for any significant amount of time I either bummed a ride from my friends, borrowed my little brother's car, or just slept until I got my car back. At least yours is out for upgrades instead of repairs. Let me know how the air ride works out.

it should be sweet because its being custom fabricated for my 2k1 seeing how they dont have a kit yet. But with the fourth coming up it is a real bummer without a car... Feels like im couped up in the house thank God a few of my friends have been picking me up otherwise i would be in bad shape. But i have a 20 day countdown hopefully i wont go insane!!

Lets hope you do go insane. I would love to see a tuner who lost his mind. Should make for an interesting car.

You can get deals from like $120/week. Not cheap, thats for sure.

But my car is currently out of commission. My wheels (3 of them at least) are FUBAR and became dangerous to drive on. So, I parked my car and started driving around the Mercedes. The only problem is that the owner of the Mercedes comes back July 9th, and I stil don't have any wheels to drive on. So, I need to do something :\ I have the money in different places, I just need to appropiate it...

If you haven't got it back yet, have you heard of a place called "rent a wreck"? They rent used cars instead of new ones like the more expensive rental places. Way cheaper!!
