Well, there are plenty of alternatives to cars out there. Scooters or Motorcycles use a lot less gas, then there's good ole' public trans. And, the old standby of walking. That's what we do since I can't drive and my BF doesn't want to learn.

And, never forget the old fashioned car pool!

I'm weird, I know... but I think that cars aren't worth all the expense and trouble for a little bit of convenience that is shrinking daily! What with rising gas and insurance prices, traffic problems, and other terrible things connected with motor vehicles, not to mention the high price of even obtaining and keeping a vehicle, it's just not worth it.
