Vinci - I live without a car. I do find times when I need/want to use a car and I rent. If I rent a car one day per month at $50 per day, that is cheaper than just insurance, and I never have to worry about maintenence etc. I also have the ability to select what type of car to use for each task that I need/want the car for.
