Some days I wonder if it'd be worth it, to live closer to work, and bike/public transport. I know that every time the car breaks or a payment is due I think about it more!
I used to do a LOT of walking in college! Usually around 5+ miles a day. I pretty much walked everywhere around town. Only time I drove was when I would go home to my parents.
The brakes hated sitting for 2 weeks or a month at a time. I replaced rotors a few times in 4 years. They'd just rust from sitting.
