el twe-- I did the same as you back in the early 1970s. (damn! that's a long time ago.) I did end up getting my license when I was 19 or 20 and I read some Jack Kerouac. Since then I've been carfree about half the time. I guess you could say I've been halfassed, but quite committed to the cause right now. So I think you're off to a good start. At least things have gone pretty well for me the last 30 years. Welcome, sir.
