Generally, I'm pretty happy with my car-free state (18 years and still going strong). Sometimes, however, I do get to thinking about how nice it might be to have a means to get the hell out on a weekend or to not have to pay delivery charges for something I could fit in the trunk of a car.

So long as I live here, I won't own a car: it's too expensive, aggravating, dangerous to deal with for all the use I'd get from it. Was thinking of becoming a Zipcar member, but don't know if I'd use the service enough to justify the monthly costs. The pricing structure also seems in place to discourage daytripping. Don't know; I guess I'm just going to have to research more. I do really like the zipcar idea, though.
