My Baby Zebra

Not a real zebra, just my car. It's a 98' Toyota Camry with black race stripes on a white body. I bought her 6 months ago for 3,000$ from an old couple my mom knew from her work. I was stoked to find that the car only had 45,000 miles on it. I guess the old lady wasn't lying when she said she only used it to go to the store.

As much as I love her, the zebra needs maintenance every once in a while just like any car. However, it cost a lot of money to get something replaced. Just a month or two ago, I had to get the water pump and timing belt replaced for 500$. I would have done it myself but it was too much work. Before this winter, I need to replace the two back tires which will probably set me back 200$ and buy those chain boot things for each tire. Last winter was the worst I can remember with a car. At the time I was using the van that my parents let me use. It had really bad tires. So bad, that apparently the steel wiring was showing.

And then a week ago or so, I had the thought, would using a horse and wagon be easier or cheaper to maintain? I'm pretty sure I could fix any problem on a wagon but the horse will be something I'd have to maintain everyday.
