Normy?

I was thinking about your situation while I was riding my bike yesterday. Funny how random ideas come to me when I'm riding.

Here's my idea. Add up the cost of the car you have, the cost of the repairs, the depreciation for the car, registration, insurance, and whatever it costs to store it (which probably isn't free). That should tell you how much you've spent altogether.

As it's in Memphis, you're using it intermittently. Compare those costs to the cost of renting a car each time you go to Memphis. Even if you rent from the airport lots which would be HUGELY convenient for you, it may be LESS MONEY total than what you've already spent. Plus it would be absolutely zero maintenance and all the associated hassles. All you pay for is the rental cost, which is a controlled cost - no $3,000 transmission surprises, no $1,500 head gasket suprises, etc., plus gasoline.

Might prove absolutely viable.
