    There definitely have been, and continue to be, some great experiences in my life that would have been impossible without a car.

    But they happen so infrequently that owning a car myself is completely nonsensical from a cost perspective.

    Much better to spend a couple hundred bucks a year renting/borrowing a car the 2-3 times I need one, than $10k a year on payments/gas/insurance/parking just so it can take up valuable urban land to sit unused 99% of its life.

      Yeah. The only mode of transportation that I own is an ebike. And I could probably cut the “e” part out without too much fuss.

      Good panier bags make all the difference though.
