My grandfather, who lived to 96, asked my mom nearly every day for the last few years of his life (after my grandmother died and my mom had to move him to NC), where his car was, when he could drive again, etc. He had Alzheimer's so the driving thing became an obsession with him. It seems to be one of the last things that men in particular just can't give up on or forget about, at least when they have some dementia going on.

Myself, I hope to live in a place where I can be car-free once I get "too old" to drive, or MUCH earlier. Just wish there were more places that were car-free-friendly.
