As a single it was great, I no longer went to flea markets and swap meets to buy stuff I didn't need, took dates in rides in Town-cars that avoided the DUI thing, and got a lot of reading done.
Last time that I lived that way was in junior high, and I hated having to take public transport.
As an Army brat, I guess I was born on the move. I wanted my own wheels from the earliest time I can remember. Dad got me my first Schwinn when I was just five, and by the end of the first day, I had figured out how to ride it.
From that point forward in life, I was never without some form of wheeled transport of my own. Got my first car when I was sixteen, and have never gone without motor transport since. I don't think I'd know how to function without it.
Anyone from Indiana-you may have recently received a skit of an email from this pos about how he is so worried all of a sudden about the deficit-go here and tell Senator Bayh what you think-

I was doing this in my early 50’s, I enjoyed the reading and I have no real emotional attachment to driving. The Redline would take me within half a block the my favorite bars/eaterys in Hollywood in half the time of driving. I did want to drive the subway back home sometimes, but I could never get in the drivers seat, must have been a union thing LOL
