I've been car free for about the last 2 or 3 years. 6 if you count college, but I was close to home so there was a lot of back and forth.

I've never owned a car and only driven enough to get a license (required to prove residency for grad school *hrrrumph*)

I do occasionally take advantage of friends who are going hiking or to the store or whatever when rides are offered, but that's the extent of it. Riding in cars now makes me extremely nervous, especially when I go home and we have to go through downtown traffic.
