It actually feels good to drive again. I have a perfectly good minivan but it just had to sit in the driveway for a year and I probably only put less than 75 miles on it for the entire time. However I'll only drive it occasionally anyway and only if I have to use it. I will of course still bicycle commute and use the bus as often as I can.
Smurfy, you could've used that year to get rid of the car, and learn to be car - free, and change your perspective about driving. After an accident & a situation like that, I personally wouldn't want a visual reminder of all those things on my property .
