I'm currently involved in a love/hate relationship with my primary mode of transportation, a car. Just this evening, I got a parking ticket and almost got another ticket because I had misplaced the proof of insurance/ownership. The cop on the second one was a nice guy and believed me when I said I was in the process of changing my paperwork, which is the god's honest truth. I was so lucky. So aside from these problems, a car is the only way to get around from where I live to where my friends live/downtown. There's nothing around where I'm currently living, and I feel cut off from everything that's going on. I'm dependent on a car and I don't like that feeling, but I prefer it over the feeling of alienation I would feel if I could escape from the suburbs.
On a related note, I think that walking is the only way to experience the place where you live. Driving doesn't allow for true exploration of the place where you live. This maybe why I never really warmed up to the suburbs (or winnipeg).
The Truth is in the Details

perhaps if the traffic cop had been a certain mr. anderson and you had happened to have been in the certain city of hamilton this shenanigan would never have happened. but it did, and that sucks.
