I don't really want a car, but have finally caved after five years of struggling with how difficult it was to get my son to his various sporting events in the evenings and weekends. That was my biggest problem, even living in a metropolis as I do, piss poor public transport made what would be a twenty minute car journey into 90 minutes of bus related hell. Everything changed for me after I got deliberately knocked off by a driver, I just wasn't prepared to have my precious child ride on the road anymore, it made life very difficult.
