Should I sell my car for a beautiful MacBook?

[Bluejuice]

For a long time I have been salivating over the prospect of one day owning a sexy new MacBook pro. The contours, the aluminium shell, the powerful OS, the kudos that comes with owning a Mac...

However they don't come cheap and I'd just assumed I'd have to get my hands on a big windfall in order to live my dream anytime soon.

This week however I have just realised that both my car insurance and tax are up for renewal. If I do not pay them my car gets towed away, but in truth I rarely use my wheels other than the odd Asda run or the occasional trip cross country to visit friends and family.

It is a nice car and I like having it there as an option but I can go weeks without using it whereas I know I would be geeking it up on my Macbook Pro every day, were I the proud owner of one.

So for £400 I can tax and insure my car and enjoy another year of motoring, or I can save that money, and make a further £800-£1000 by flogging it to somebody who may get more use out of it.

What would you do? NSC it's over to you

once you've gone Mac you never go back

But would I be forfeiting absolute freedom by ditching the motor?

Best of both worlds:

Flog the car. You can use the Mac to do your supermarket shopping online, and to book train tickets weeks in advance to visit your mates. Job done.

Now that's great justifying logic. I LIKE

go for the Mac

Jebus, it's neck and neck.

I need a DEFINITIVE answer

 

[alan partridge]

seeing as how rarely you use the car, I'd go GEEKSVILLE every time

I don't like Mac's but if you rarely use the car and it's what you want then do it. You can hire a Corsa from Enterprise for £30 a day with unlimited mileage if you need a car for something.

Having said that I love cars and am going to pick up my shiny new one today but each to their own and if you don't need it, why waste the money
