The point I'm making is that I really don't see what use the car was on
this trip. OK, as I don't drive _anywhere_ that would seem a natural
thing for me to say, except even I accept that there are some trips
people will take for which the car will be preferable. This doesn't
strike me as one of them- what the car did allow you to do doesn't seem
to compensate what it didn't. This seems a particularly funny example...
"I drive cross country to Hercegnovi which seems a nice place to stop.
But I can't. All the signs say that the parking is paid for by SMS and
there are no instructions as to what to do (in any language). I can't
find anywhere to park that is free or that accepts real money. So I am
left with driving through the narrow streets and taking pictures by
stopping at junctions."
