My next door neighbor bought a cart and got rid of his car a couple of years ago. This was after seven years with no cart! If he needs to go any place close to TV he calls a cab. He seldom asks any of us for a ride but we do offer our services for medical trips, etc.

He figures that with the money he saves from car insurance, maintenance, etc, he can afford to rent a car if he needs to go any place for an extended amount of time.

But I will have to add that except for 3 month cruises once a year he does not go many places outside of TV.

It is not something I could do. When we got to TV and got all of our pickup needs taken care of I sold my truck and now have one car and a cart. We need the car because we don't want to be confined to TV. We like going to Ocala and other places to have fun and adventure.
