I sold my car couple years ago and now im only using public transport and then I even have a own driver No need for insurances, no expensive fuel, no pollution of unnecessary driving etc... (I got my car for gift from my dad when I graduated from highschool.)
Public trasport in Helsinki is very good and actually we don't have any needs to own a own car - if you travel in capital city/area.
I wish the public transport down here was good. it is anything but good. 1 hour wait between busses. that is why I drive. it can take 2 1/2 hours to go 15km. with transfers and all.
Very nice car ZX300SI. Here is a pic of Baby. She was a 2002 Christmas present from my son.
Anyway, Baby was born in 1972. *lol* Its weird driving a car older than my children. ~smile~ I just got in an accident with her on Thursday. A guy did an unsafe lane change and hit me right in the middle of my door, can't lock my door now, *pout* and the accident also messed up the floor board and the left fender is about 1/2 to 1 inch away from the car. *arrgh, those men drivers*, *lol*.
