There are times and situations where I do enjoy not needing a car - like when I stay occassionally in Manhattan for a few days, but that by itself, in time, is limiting without a car. And when useful the greatest part of having the car is setting your own timetable and not limited or restricted by plane or train or bus schedules, as well as, unlike all three of those, getting total point A to point B transport by that single mode - the car.
You know the greatest thing about a car? If the shiite goes down, you can get out of town.
