I don't have a car but I could afford one. It's getting more and more tempting to get one. My husband and I are our mid 30's and we all too often rely on friends and family for a lift. It feels likes like we're not so much car free as carless.

I've never had a car but am considering it for the first time in my life, at least temporarily. My upcoming internship is at a school in a relatively rural village, and it's technically under the 1.5 hours travel time my college promises, but only by 10 minutes. Compared to the travel time by car which is 35-45 minutes depending on the time of day. Even in a country as dense and non-car friendly as the Netherlands it still sucks ass to get anywhere more rural without a car.
