And so it begins. Today is Day 1 of my Car-less existence. It's something I have been contemplating to do for the past 6 years. I finally retired my car today and it feels great. A huge massive boulder has been lifted off of my shoulders. The stress disappeared immediately. No more car insurance. No more price-gouging Gas prices. No more repair cost. No more worrying about whether today is the day it fizzles out in traffic. So, for the foreseeable future, it's Walking, Buses and my new Bike (I'll post a pic of that over in the Bicycle thread). I've read quite a few blog post over the years, weighing the pros and cons and those that are actually living their own Car-less Lifestyle and it has always appealed to me. So, how long will this last for me? Honestly, I don't know. I'm in no rush to get another car anytime soon. Now, if there was a steal of a deal and it was a car that I really wanted, I may look at it. But for now, I'm willing to try this new venture and see how it plays out for me.
