I went car free for over a year back in 2008-09
Lost about 35 pounds, was in great health, finances were great.
Thought my social life was suffering though.
I ended up getting a vehicle... gained the weight back, spend $216/mo on payments, $130/mo on insurance, just put $1500 into all new breaks and a catalytic converter, and my social life still sucks!
Wish I never got that dam thing...
Thankfully I work at home so I don't spend another $400/mo in gas.
So no, I wouldn't do it.
