Good luck with the adjustment, vw.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

[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.

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.

This is me, 10.5 years into the not car having after growing up in the car culture of CA. In DC, having a car is so far down the list of 'nice to haves' that I don't even think about it. Of course, I'm insanely blessed with generous friends who lend me theirs when I need one.
And now that peapod will deliver my groceries (and schlep them up my stairs) for less than it would cost to use a zipcar, (including tip!) life is mighty fine.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I adore having a zip car membership -- and I don't even use it that often.

WoooHoooo! Just got the e-mail that says my zipcar membership was approved. Now I can reserve a car for New Years. Wheeeee!
