DH would totally love to be in a position to give up our cars--basically meaning he'd love to live in a city with a good metro system/zip cars/trains, etc. like Boston, London, DC or NYC.
I thought your DH wanted something like this: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I really don't like driving in Chicago much. I've totally become public transportation's bitch, as when I think of the layout of the city I picture it in terms of what's near what train. I've only driven to work once this year.
I love driving on the highway, but it seems like I gotta drive two hours out of Chicago to get out of shitty traffic.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks, Nora.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love not having a car here, but when I'm at my parents' (in Maryland), I can't imagine not having one.
I hated driving in Chicago when I lived in Evanston. The worst part of the drive to Canada was the first couple of hours getting out of the city and around the lake into Michigan -- just a miserable stretch of road.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I thought your DH wanted something like this:
HA! He does love the power wagon--I think it's like a little boy fantasy or something. But I think if I told him I'd live in London, he'd chose London over the Dodge any day.

Just showed my boss the zip car. she is SO doing it

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This -- it's so very location-dependent. I'm thoroughly sick of the whole car thing, but there's just no way to do it; we're looking at a month of being down to one car, and even that's barely manageable here.

Absolutely, totally location dependent. I am lucky we have a choice in our car driving ways.
I would also think that having kids would change the equation as well.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm so lame with planning when it comes to driving. Friends will leave me their cars for weeks at a time and I think WHEE! I'll go everywhere.
What do I do? I take Bartleby to the cemetery (dog park) and maybe schlep to northern VA to the grocery. It's embarrassing. I love my neighborhood so much...and have gotten so lazy, I guess, that making efficient use of a car just doesn't register with me anymore.
And when I think of the traffic I could be avoiding in the relative comfort and safety of the Metro? Nah...
I would like to make better use of the bus system. For some reason, I have this paranoid fear of missing my stop...but now Metrobus has these cool recordings the tell you the next stop before you even get there! I'd hate to be the poor driver having to listen to that all day, but it works wonders for me.
