My ex owned the last car I drove. She did not have a license, so I was pretty much the only person to ever drive in the house. Now I'm out of her house, so no more car. I'm walking everywhere in an extremely car dependant area, there's public transport it just sucks ass. However, I'm liking the walking. The more I do it, the less I even think about it. My ass is gonna look great, I can still get pretty much everything I care about within walking distance, life is good.

    God I wish... I'm in the fucking suburbs with our grocery store within walking distance. But there's a major stroad through the route with no crosswalks and a 55mph speed limit that is more of a suggestion - chuds rip at 80+ in their lifted trucks.

      Yeah, I've said what city I live in before, this is something I'm quite familiar with. These moments are the only time I wish I had a car.

      Walking in an American city is a great way to realize how totally fucked our transportation infrastructure is. So many people seem to have never even bothered to try walking anywhere
