Swearing off the Car?
An article in today's Washington Post Metro section discusses an increasing shift away from automobile dependancy among Arlington County residents.
"According to the 2000 Census, more than 12 percent of [Arlington] county households are without even one vehicle, the highest rate in the region among major jurisdictions outside the District of Columbia."
Personally, I view a carless lifestyle as liberation. The freedom from financial responsibilities and auto related worries is wonderful.

If I wouldn't have to cough up $4k immediately, I would seriously consider selling my car. I considered it enough to call the credit union to find out that I'd have to pay for or finance the gap between expected sale price and the loan payoff before the title could be transferred.
That would just further my co-workers' impression that I am an anti-property, liberal environmentalist wacko, though.
