Televisionless is actually de-stressing and relaxing.
Carless, on the other hand, requires planning. Buses add an hour to every trip. It can be done, mind you, mostly, anyhow, but you have to get savvy about the buses and then plan your time. It can suck.

Don't tempt me! A good Vespa costs as much as a bad car.

I like our train. But our buses smell funny. Is that just because Miami is hot and humid? Or do all public buses smell like sickrooms?

Well then, if you're not into roller blading, I suppose you could find a Razor pretty cheap on eBay.

I have Roller Blades and used to use them a lot.
One day, I saw something that made me enjoy them less: a single Roller Blade wheel, lying on one of my favorite skating streets.
After that, every time I skated, just as I hit my stride and was beginning to enjoy the freedom of speed, I'd think about that wheel and consider various scenarios for how it ended up on the asphalt, all alone. None of them were good.
The other thing about Roller Blades is that when you arrive someplace, you need shoes.

I was carless for all of last summer, and had a phobia of public transportation. Yep, 32 and never ridden a bus. I was so proud of myself when I did it all by myself... didn't mean I liked it. Our buses didn't smell like sickrooms, they smelled like dirty tennis shoes.
My sympathies. Hope you get your car back soon.

Why in the world would anyone go without a car? I actually walked to Safeway once. It's about 2 miles. That's totally insane. I'm certain that even Neandratal Man had as yet undiscovered cars. How else would they have gotten around?

No Jenny, Neanderthal man did not have cars. They had motorcycles, of course. I mean, they had leather jackets and that says, bikes not cars.

I was certain it was something motorized. How else would they have gotten to the Mall?

Good luck! I was without a car in Miami when I just starting out as a student.
It was rough, and trust me, nobody walks.

On my first trip to Az, staying with Min, while she was at work, I was stranded, so I walked. I went out in the Arizona sun and walked through the estate, found my way down to the local lake (she calls it a pond, it's way too big for a pond, that's what people have in their gardens) strolled through the park, and on to the local mall. I browsed the shops, chatted to locals, did some grocery shopping and walked back, carrying the shopping in two plastic carrier bags.
I stopped by the lake and sat watching the ducks, ate a chocolate bar, sipped from a bottle of water, and all in all had a great time.
I got home 2 hours later. I had thoroughly enjoyed myself, and was very proud of my independence.
Walking is something I did so much more of before I could drive. I always used buses, and thought nothing of it. Cars make us so lazy.
