you don't "need" it, but it's like living life as a perpetual dependent child without one. You don't control whether you get to where you need to be on time, it's up to the public transportation schedules. You have to be that guy in your friend group who always needs a ride. You can't get more groceries than what you can carry back with you. the only benefit is you can be drunk on the bus and can read while you go to work, but the sacrifices of your autonomy aren't worth it.

Yes. Because suburbs. You can't just walk a block or two and get what you need. If I set out in the morning to get groceries on my own legs it will be night before I get home. Public transport is useless for getting chores done, getting anywhere on time, or not getting drenched in rain. There's no sidewalks anyway. Just drainage ditches. If I don't have a car I'm a dead man. The only solution is to turn every square inch of NA into a crowded city. Other than that you'll have to bring back dirt roads and carriages.

I live somewhere with no reliable public transport and the nearest store is 5km away. My work commute is 60km across a mountain, the nearest city is 20km away. The car drive to the airport takes 90 minutes. The bus takes 3 hours (if it shows up). hth My car is a 1.4L petrol and costs me approximately €120 per month in fuel. Insurance: €600 per year Tax: €220 per year Maintenance: €180 per year. Thats cheap all things considering. Adults who can't drive/don't own a car are not to be trusted around here. They're generally just weird/incompetant and too lazy to learn how to drive. If you live in a city or large town I can understand and I'd ditch my car in an instant. But anywhere else? Nah. Some day I dream of being able to cycle to work. The Real Amethyst fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jan 27, 2019 |

The highway is a few hundred feet from my apartment building and ditto my workplace, which means if there was some kind of functioning light rail or tram I could easily take that to work and note drive a car but instead we are building another lane extension (for half a mile) because that will assuredly solve the problem of traffic in Southern California. Definitely should build a wall though. Yup. So cool to build random infrastructure in the desert to protect from MS13 phantasms conjured up by terrified white people in Ohio.

Do I want to listen to my music in a clean, private vehicle where I control the temperature and takes me to my destination directly, or do I want to walk to the train station and then wait around for a train full of angry, smelly people where I am lucky to get a seat and takes three times as long to get me to my destination? That’s a tough decision

Owning and operating a car is cheap as hell in America if you aren't buying a new one every other year and it's not a fussy, expensive model that requires frequent maintenance. License is $25 a year, registration is $50 per car, you can get liability insurance for a couple hundred bucks a year, gas is comparatively cheap to most other major countries, and maintenance costs on econoboxes mostly comes down to oil changes. The only thing that could really skyrocket those costs is if you live in a place where storing a car costs a dickload, but this is a concept that is completely foreign to a very large percentage of Americans.

This varies WIDELY by state. In FL even with a spotless record, your insurance is going to be way higher than in a state where people actually know how to drive. License is almost 40 a year in my county. And god help you if you don't have enough cash up front and a bad credit score (aka a good chunk of millenials and younger people)

My rate in florida was around 110 a month, when I moved to Maryland where people allegedly are good at driving it jumped to 156, and I have never been in an accident and haven't gotten a speeding ticket since 2001.

I need 2. The electric car for normal daily commuting, and the F-150 for when it's time to load up the scuba gear/bicycles/kayaks/camping equipment, and go play. Or when the snow is high on the road. Or when there's a long road trip.

If you can reasonably live without a car, more power to you. For me living without one would require more inconvenience and planning to my life then I'm frankly willing to deal with. Also driving fast on an open highway blaring music is one of the few things left in my life that brings me happiness. Please OP, don't take what little I have left away from me.
