Because I proved to myself I didn't need one, that's why. A little stubborn thinking there I guess. I just don't like the idea of a car rusting away in my driveway (only to be driven maybe once a month at most).

We live about 45miles from the nearest hospital. The response time may be exaggerated a little but that's what I was told by a distant neighbor, as we never had a serious emergency that required calling 911. I understand the concern with being car free in this situation but in the 5 years we've lived here we never had a urgent emergency *knock on wood*
