Thanks for the welcome East Hill!
I am car free and find myself studying the weather radar intently w/ my morning cup of coffee now! It's been a daily ride as long as the temp is over 35 and not a pouring rain.
My wife definetly has a need for a car to get her and my kids around since we live out in the country and it's a fair distance to get necessities and the occasional adventures to Pitt.
We're going to build our savings for awhile and see how it goes as far as me getting a vehicle, I'm not sure how we'll do w/o a truck because we like to camp and now have no way to get to the mountains to do so. I'm thinking of weekend rentals to get us there, got any suggestions?
