Things I hate about being a motorist:

- oil changes and tire rotations, especially getting them done for a car that's not even going to be yours in a few months' time.
- red light cameras, particularly if you later get a ticket in the mail showing the fact that you were one second too late entering the intersection that day.
- gasoline prices going up 10¢/gallon in one day when the price of crude oil increases by a dollar, and then taking forever to go down by that much after the price of oil has fallen.
- driving on a two-lane highway at night with the possibility that the car headed in the opposing direction is being driven by a person who had been drinking that night and doesn't know better.
- contributor to global warming and climate change. Think about the penguins! Unfortunately, it is hard to get around without a vehicle if you live in a rural area.
