I'm car-free!
« on: September 20, 2015, 11:14:26 AM »
Exchanged my Toyota Tacoma for a little 'stash this weekend. Ordered a bus-pass, joined Zipcar, and picked up groceries at Costco for the first time w/ my bike & Ortlieb panniers. Made a reservation for a weekend trip in November w/ Enterprise for $9.99 per day.

I feel liberated and excited about living car (truck) - free!

Congrats. We made the same leap earlier this summer. Nifty, isn't it?

Be sure to double-check your Zipcar reservation times. I goofed and forgot to extend one day, got hit with a steep fine. (ouch)
