Here are the 10 good reasons why you should not buy a car, which I discovered after I sold mine. It is not that bad afterall (sounds like sour grapes 
!
1) Exercise more by walking. Duke University Medical Center found that a brisk 30 minute walk 6 days a week is enough to trim waistlines and cut the risk of metabolic syndrome.
2) Contribute to save Mother Earth – reduce carbon dioxide emission by 120kgC/day.
3) Save more money. I can now free up about $900/mth for savings, investments and other needs/wants.
4) Read more books. With others driving me around, I can read books during the journeys and write more book summaries here!
5) No traffic jams. I usually take train now which is not affected by heavy road traffic. I was driving a manual transmission so it made traffic jam even more unbearable.
6) No queuing or waiting for carpark space. I no longer need to consider the ease of parking when going to places. In crowded location, parking is really a pain, you can wait up to 1 hour!
7) No carpark charges. Parking in city area can be very expensive and always had to limit the time spent at the place.
No fines. Sometimes when there is no carpark spaces, I had to illegal park the car and expose myself to the possibility of getting a ticket.
9) No pumping of petrol. Petrol prices have been soaring and it hurts the wallet especially if the car has bad fuel consumption.
10) No maintenance. I no longer need to schedule car maintenance and pay hefty repair/replacement fees.
