I have one but it sits in the driveway most of the time. I either walk to the train station or ride to work. It's a 1997 Mustang with about 50,000 miles on it.

A lot of people in NYC, including myself, don't own a car. Still too many cars here, though.

I have always lived in a rural area, I can't even get my head around not having an auto.

I did go almost a year once with only a motorcycle, no wife and no kids back then...

i'm car free for about 5yrs now
i was car lite (beater 82' Subaru wagon) for a bunch of years before

but i'm a bike-a-holic
i even quit my job about a 1.5yrs ago, and been riding anything anywhere, anytime.
at the moment, I'm all geeked out on my road bike, +30hrs/week, prep for The Solvang Double
mostly i ride my Big Dummy
and a Hunter 29er

We have 2 cars. 1 never gets driven.

buzzman 03-18-09 07:47 PM

my wife has a car. I don't. But I get to drive hers whenever I want, which isn't all that often.

One van for the wife and kids. We sold our second car about 3 years ago when I started riding the bus. They've since cut my bus route so now I'm bikin' it.

I'm car free.

Car free. If I absolutely need to get out of town and can't find a bus, I rent a car, but that's rare.

51 years old and never owned a car.

I got rid of my car last month, I used it so infrequently it had to be jump started every time I used it.
When the MOT and Tax expired in the same week I thought to hell with it.

I have a wife and 2 kids under 3 so we'll see how I get on.

tsl 03-19-09 07:29 AM

I'm less than a month away from my 10-year anniversary of being car free.

ulugeyik 03-19-09 12:15 PM

well, car free for 3 months now. hoping to stay as such.

a single speed, a MTB and a yuba mundo for myself,
an old 3 speed english bike and a mtb for my wife.

Commuter76 03-19-09 12:37 PM

We have 2 cars right now, but I'm slowly getting my wife to think about going down to 1 car. I've been commuting by bike several times a week since Dec. last year.
