Never own a car of my own, city dweller (5.00 / 2) (#8)

than I am.

I drove my Mom's Saab for a while, though.

If you're worried about gas prices, I hear that the Honda Fit is a good small option with lots of utility.

Never got a drivers license ;) (5.00 / 1) (#35)

city dweller that I am. I grew up in the burbs, but moved to city living at 18. Actually did a 2 yr stint in L.A. without a car, lol!~

I didn't do it on purpose! (5.00 / 1) (#37)

Went down to house sit for a friend and started picking up accounts so I stuck around. One of my clients was 20th Century. They had the big gates that you were supposed to drive through after the guard ok'd you. I got to walk through, lol!~

I only stayed as long as I did because I was born there and kept trying to convince myself I should like it there. Nope, finally got smart and went back to S.F. {grin}

I have a license but I don't drive.  We don't have a car anymore.  Too much hassle - alternate side parking 4 days a week in our neighborhood.  When we need a car, my husband rents a Zip Car.

(from Boston) in 94 I had no car.
so I lived close to work, and the beach in Venice, and walked to, among other things, the supermarket through what seemed like a nice little neighborhood.
one night while watching local  news I learned the area I had been walking through was called the Oakwood triangle.  highest murder rate in the country.
I got a car soon after that.
