Scale up, scale down, or go to jail?

I'm driving a car that's not inspected or registered, my license is a couple years expired, I have no insurance and I'm driving the thing anyway because I'm homeless and have little other option.

It raises the question: will I go to jail for being poor?

Deliberation #1: the car

Nick the Angel spent so much time replacing my wheelbearing and axel (after the shop in Burlington replaced the wrong one!)

I can't afford this thing. I hate cars in general and I hate this one in particular — it's a beeping monster from hell and an autistic person-punishment machine!

Deliberation #2: my tools / workspace

I have a few thousand dollars worth of tools. I don't have a space to put them, nor do I have the capacity to sell them.

I've considered just walking away from them, my car, and everything else because I'm so far beyond my limits…

Deliberation #3: home? geography

With my unbearable alienation and lack of friends, a "home" sounds terrifyingly like more solitary confinement.

But winter's here, and camping out, living out of my hatchback car, doesn't sound like much of an option either.

What do I do? I guess I should ...go somewhere?

Up or Down?

• Vehicle: considering my homelessness, a van would be much better than a little hatchback car. Though my ideal life is doing without an automobile altogether — I would vastly prefer to get around on a bicycle than in a car.
• Shop: I need much better workspace than I've had, and a space with other people is an important quality-of-life thing that I was missing this past year
