I spend one hour a day in my car. It sits all day in the bank car park and all night outside my flat. I don't use it to go to the pub. It gets attacked regularly by yobs and is constantly reversed into in the car park. Should I be kind and have it crushed?

If you don't use it for shopping, visiting friend's & relative's etc then you would be better off financially if you sold it & used public transport, you would also be helping the enviroment of course.

Sell your car and catch the bus every day. It is MUCH cheaper to by bus. For your car you have to pay for petrol/diesel, MOT, Insurance, Car Tax, car parking charges and to keep some cash in reserve for repairs. So you may be looking at roughly £50 each week to keep your car on the road - money which you don't get back. But if you go everywhere by bus your looking at between £10 and £20 a week, and in some places your employers will help with the bus fares - by purchasing on your behalf a year long bus pass, which will be deducted out of your wages, which works out cheaper than buying a bus ticket each day.

Depends on your bus service provider. My local provider regularly saw me waiting over 20 minutes for a bus that was supposed to be every 7. My maximum wait was 1 hour.
Research other modes of transport. Bus is one, what about tram, train or underground (depending on your home town)? Maybe car sharing with someone nearby or even walking or cycling.
