I used to sit in the backseat of my parents car as we drove downtown, and I looked out the window and pitied all the people walking. I felt lucky to have a car, and felt bad they had to walk.

Now I'm older and moved to South East Asia, and I walk and take public transportation all around. I see people in cars and I pity them, as walking these narrow roads is faster than driving, and they miss the whole experience.

I don't want to go back to being in a car. I like being able to relax on my phone and take the subway - no need to worry about DUIs, insurance, gas, repairs, or parking.

Anyways, that's my little story. Cars suck, but it took going somewhere better to realize that. Hope you can all relate!
