Car light

what a bummer! they dropped you because you didn't have a car for 3 months?
what loosers.
Tell us more about the kinds of things you couldn't do without a car, remember a lot of us are thinking of doing the same thing.

For those who live in big cities (ie. I mean many people), consider car-sharing arrangements, where you pay a fee for a few hrs. to move around tons of home reno supplies or huge hunks of groceries.

Or taxis for occasional rides..which for us works out to be around 5-6 times annually. We rent a car 1-2 times annually, usually when we are in a different region of Canada/U.S. And usually for 1-2 days.

As an example: I have 2 friends around my age, they each bought and own their own houses not far from public transit. Neither have a car, but they do use public transit and bike around. Yes, they are competent cyclists, etc. They live in a city of 2+ million people.

Yes, you do save a hunk of money. Enough for a house down payment if you have this lifestyle for a number of years.
