I gave up on cars in the US for few years now... I just bought a hyper electric escooter and use it to travel 60+/- miles per charge... no gas, no insurance, no maintenance (only the rare flats and brake pad changes), and no plate and safety/emission... etc etc.

Buy once, use till the battery dies... rinse and repeat... gear is inconvenient though but can put up with it.

Where I'm at there's a cross on the side of the highway every quarter mile or so to mark where people who decided to not use a car to commute that day are commemorated.
