Try getting an insanely cheap used car perhaps
from a friend or relative.

If you are in san diego, skip A/C, Skip Power windows
and locks, skip the automatic.

I’ve known people who got 7 year old hyundais’
for under a grand.

If you have bad credit, you will pay through the
nose on interest.

or get a bike, My handyman got his truck repo’d
he got a ten speed free, he’s lost 30 lbs of
weight and is getting in great shape.
