Raq, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for that comparatively ick-free summary of the saga of Mal's bottom.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I can't imagine the feeling vw. I'd be lost without my car, but then again I feel as though I am taxi-central for our family.

I am feeling a bit panicky about it today. I can't make Target or grocery store runs anymore on a moment's notice (well, depending on the zipcar thing). No more easy trips to mom and dad's. I'll get used to it, but it's gonna be an adjustment. I know I'm doing the right thing, though, and that helps.

Good luck with the adjustment, vw.

You ARE doing the right thing. And you will get used to the other options available to you. If I didn't have the kids and lived close to as many non-car options as you do, I'l be very tempted to rid myself of a car.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've never regretted giving up my car, not for a moment.
I'm sure that you'll see it as a huge burden lifted from you.

This is what I'm hoping.

Once you get into the groove with the ZipCar thing, it will feel more seamless, I bet.
Cars have never been anything but a source of anxiety for me, between breakdowns and towing and accidents and parking and being sideswiped and...argh. Although we still have Tom's car, I hardly ever drive it and I am pleased that we live somewhere where not having a car at all wouldn't hinder us too much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'll admit, I'm a little jealous of all this talk of car-giving-up.

I have no car. I have never had a car. I feel no particular wish to ever have a car. (Although I can drive.) I like public transport - you can read on it. Also, more environmentally friendly. Fear not, vw, all will be well.
