To this point, I am a car guy, I was a car salesman for many years, and always had a nice car. A few years ago when I moved to Seattle, I decided to take a chance on public transit and Uber and decided to only have a single car for my family of four. It worked out! I actually can't stand to even drive anymore, and when my wife and I go out we try to avoid driving ourselves whenever possible. We still need the vehicle for long trips and for things like going to home depot, but it gets driven far less. I've also found myself taking the bus to destinations I normally wouldn't because the bus stop is a few miles from where I want to be, knowing that when I arrive I can get an Uber for the last little leg of the trip.
