I just went cold turkey. I was driving everywhere one day, I delivered the car to Catholic Relief Services the next day, and then I wasn't driving any more. After a day or so of immense unease, it turned out to be ridiculously easy to not have a car. With a bare minimum of wit, almost anyone can figure out how to get from point A to point B without a car with relative ease. I'm sincerely surprised by how easy the transition was.

It sounds like you're in a location where car-free is pretty practical. However, if you really like driving a car for the sheer pleasure of it, maybe you should consider a car-lite route instead. You know, live like a European, deep in the heart of Texas: get around by bike Monday-Friday, doing your business in town, and then, on weekends, climb in the Miata, put the top down, and drive around like hell.
