We have 2, but could probably get by with 1 if we "really, really" needed too. The only problem would be if we have just 1 car and it breaks down, we would miss having another car for back-up.
We have four cars running around. Oldest DS has one at college. DS17 has his car, and DH and I each have our own car. I paid $2.15 for gas here in central TX last night. My oldest DS paid $2.03 for gas in Corpus Christi a couple of days ago.
Do I win a prize for no car for 2 years? That was 16 years ago and we lived in the Alaskan Bush. We are a family of 4 drivers as of Nov. so we have 4 cars. The newest one is 1998 Neon which belongs to my 18 yr. old ( she paid for it) My hubby drives a 1997 F 150 and my 16 yr old drives my 1997 van, i get what is left in the driveway -- 1988 Pathfinder. I only drive 3 miles round trip to work and only occationally need to run errands after work. I imagine someday having a place to park or maybe even the luxury of parking in a garage!!LOL
P.S. All cars are paid for - no car payments!!!
we have 2.5 vehicles....how .5 you ask? well one is a 1973 dodge charger that dh is restoring.
the other 2 are a 1997 pontiac grand prix of mine that is paid for and that i will be replacing in the summer with a new one(same thing just newer).
dh has a beast...2002 dodge ram 3500 dually cummings diesal.
we could never get along with just one (well i am sure we could if we had no choice) but dh works 25 min away and works long long hours. i am a sahm but i volunteer at ds school 3x a week plus do errands for my gram and also ds has karate 2x a week.
we have gotten by with one now and then when dh truck was getting some work done on it (custom not needed) and i either had dmil help or dh got a ride that day or i just stayed home (that was actually a treat) i haven't quite figured out the stay at home part to being a stay at home mom, lol.
