do you have any concept of how privileged you are to not have your mobility factor into the choice of whether or not to own a car? i _could_ have all my food brought in by community programs, and do all of my socializing inside my house, or only when i have someone else to walk my wheelchair down my front steps. but man, that would be all sorts of isolating, not to mention discouraging.
You're absolutely right! I am indeed priviledged - I don't have to suffer from the fear of my car being taken away from me anymore. It's already happened (a decade ago), and it was absolutely liberating. So, yes, I feel extrordinarily fortunate that I don't own a car anymore. Thanks.
