I have actually been thinking about getting rid of it sooner but at the end of the month, it will be gone. I am actually looking forward to April when I can start riding my bike again and not have to depend on my car to get around.
The worrying part is that you think you depend on your car now. If that's the case, where will you be when it's gone? Or do you not really depend on it?
I had a similar situation in that my car had some serious repair issues to be addressed, and I just decided to get rid of it. It was a fairly easy choice for me because the car would sit, undriven, for months at a time, so I looked at the cost of repair vs. the cost of booking air and/or train travel for my few out of town trips for the year, the figures were close, and once I factored in the aggravation of keeping a car running that I rarely used, it was an easy decision.
It's been great for me. I wish you luck.
