Aye I feel ya! Cars can be a fucking pain in the ass sometimes.. (gas, repairs, tickets, etc). Even though I agree that walking is much safer, cheaper, and healthier.. I find driving almost a nescessity nowadays. Everything is far away where I live, and to be able to get to work I unfortunately have to drive.

My advice is keep being content without a car as long as possible! It will certainly benefit you in many ways.
