I guess I have been only care free for one year- this one.

I'm not sure how to count last year; our roommate had a car we just couldn't use it.

In my senior year of college either a roommate had a car and would schlep us around or let us borrow it. this was a very nice thing that we never abused.

Junior year: I was in London for half of it and for the other half i had a roommate that would only let us drive her places but not borrow the car.

Sophomore and freshman year: no cars on campus allowed!

But my parents live very close by to my undergrad and were super accommodating when I "needed" it. I didn't get my license until I was a senior in highschool and my friends and I just carpooled to get to school.

But I have never had a car myself and consider myself car free. I might have to get one next year and it is taking some getting used to just the thought. Eventually it is going to have to happen because of medical rotations. I just want to go on road trips and to be able to have a car I can plop my canoe, the Dreadnought Scot, on by myself.
