Right now we are in Montreal, and loving the walkable nature of the city, with our car safely tucked away in the garage below our vacation rental.
______________________________________________

I live in NYC and own a car. It is generally berthed in a rented garage space below our building and taken out a couple of times a week (to go to Costco and to make the "shopping rounds" as my wife likes to cherry-pick the loss leadeers at mulitple supermarkets). Once in a while, we use it to head out of the city on some mission or another. Could we save money byu using rentals for the occaisional out-of-city runs and using a car service for the few Costco runs where the size/weight doesn't lend itself to the subway? Sure (when you figure in garage rental, insurance, gas, maintenance, fees, etc.), but it's convenient to have it hanging around. That said, every time my wifee suggests I replace it with a newer model, I patiently explain that it hasn't been used up yet and I want my next car to be an autonomous model.
