Why I don't yet have, and may never, ever have...
From Michelle, in the Slagroom...
...a car!
Not because I am suddenly anti car, because I'm not, and, in fact, I developed quite close relationships with my previous cars...
But two fairly big reasons for this carlessness might be:
1. Parking is at a premium in the city center. Went to view an apartment the other day with a view to buying it and the cost of the garage was, gulp, $25,000 - $30,000 on top of the purchase price!
2. Gas costs, wait for it, wait for it...$8 per gallon. Yes, this is absolutely true! Although it's actually $8 per gallon in the UK and is probably a bit more than that in the Netherlands...
So if you ever take a trip to Europe and wonder why (a) cars are smaller, and (b) average number of cars per family is less, you now know the answer!
New Year's Resolution: cycle everywhere even in 70 mph winds (still working on cycling without hands...)
Love Michelle, who is trying to convince herself that cycling is the new driving!

Ooh, gas just went up to $2.09 here in Minnesota so I guess I shouldn't complain! My goodness!
