When we moved to California, I strategically chose a place to live where we'd be able to walk and take the bus. When we were in Iowa, I would have been housebound most of the time if I'd tried this. Unless the weather is nice or you live in a big city with great public transportation (and I can only think of a few), it's pretty difficult, if not impossible to ditch the car.Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012743668167432396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630132554196597332.post-13625249111901213402008-10-31T09:56:40.309-07:002008-10-31T09:56:40.309-07:00All very good reason to ditch the gas guzzling wheel if you live someplace warm enough to walk or wait for a bus year round. We get pretty cold here, so I'd be very reluctant to give up the warm steel enclosure that's out main source of transportation. <BR/><BR/>Happy TT<BR/><BR/>http://moondancerdrake.livejournal.com/85659.htmlMoondancerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07333564278428565159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630132554196597332.post-28937227638998755922008-10-30T11:00:45.101-07:002008-10-30T11:00:45.101-07:00Great list!

I maintain it, pay insurance and all that jazzmo - so that when I need a car, I have one to use. However, I drive about once a week or less. It's awfully freeing. My stress levels dropped, I was walking more so felt more energetic, and didn't have the gasoline expense!Laughing Musehttp://www.titledeleted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630132554196597332.post-57691289128764170702008-10-29T22:20:07.952-07:002008-10-29T22:20:07.952-07:00Well done!Nicholashttp://agentlemansdomain.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
