I'll never give up my car or motorcycle. I just don't have the time or the will to restructure my life to get around by using public transportation, bicycling or walking.
I used to take the bus to work. I drive now. With parking and gas, it costs the same as a bus. It also allows me to leave for work and hour later and get home an hour sooner.
Some people I work with are ardent green supporters and gave me grief when I started to drive. They went on about saving the planet and what not. I told them the planet will be around a heck of a long time after human civilization, so instead of saving the planet, they should look into saving themselves.
They don't talk to me anymore.
So yeah, I'll drive a car until I can't do it anymore. And love it.
