Well, not with my father anyway.
Just had him on the phone claiming that selling my car will destroy any chances of having a relationship with the opposite sex. He is of the opinion that a car is necessary for taking women out on dates, he thinks a car is essential in today's world full stop. In my experience with dating, myself and the woman have made our own way to venues and met up there, so I don't think the lack of a car is a significant issue. The question is, is it worth bothering trying to convince him otherwise or just listen politely and do my own thing?
I think what is possibly at the root of it is that he ultimately wants me to get married and produce grandchildren, and being car free is going to knock that on the head.
