I've been subscribed for years Doug. I live in a more rural area so the need for a car is paramount. But man if I could do away with insurance and 2 car payments my pockets would feel fat. Kind of jealous in a way.

New subscriber here! 😊 Sir Doug, your videos are underrated: no bells and whistles to appear fancy, but just straight facts! You convinced me to buy the Ninja Duo Crisp with the ultimate lid! You had me at “ This could be you!” More power to you and your growing channel! -Elaine of the Windy City of Chicagohhh! 😊

Not having a car payment is seriously nice! I have been driving the same car for years. I need another one but no way I will take on a payment.

Doug, Good For You! You mentioned you have an Electric Bike. Maybe you can find a basket for the front and back of it, for some grocery shopping!!! Good Luck!

Much success to you Doug!

Good luck on your new adventure. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

I actually agree with you. Ever since the pandemic I order everything online. I still have to be the Uber for my grandkids but truthfully I rarely use my car for anything else. Makes sense.

Wow! Can't wait to see how your journey goes.

Hello, that is so smart! If one thinks about the cost for one month it will save you a lot! And if all else fails you can always rent a car for a huge haul of food. Smart, smart, smart! I walk to my grocery store as i had to give up my car when i retired and do not regret it. I would rather pay 10 or 15 dollars for a taxi instead of $600.00 per month for a vehicle!

I admire you Doug for taking a chance. People have talked behind my back because I bought a Ram Promaster and I'm turning it into a Camper Van. I am doing it for a couple of reasons. 1- I have been watching these builds for the last 2 to 3 years and I wanted to do it myself even though I'm 58. 2- My brother isn't well physically and basically he depends on me to help him, so if I ever need to have somewhere to live other than my house to save money. I have it. I applaud you Doug. Love your channel!

I look forward to hearing about your journey being car free! I have a friend who went car free a few years ago in Chicago which has great public transit. I want to hear about how you do being car free in a southern city.

Tap tapper in the building ✌️ Nice video doug🙌🙌

Nice one Cooking!!! I wish you the best as always, it's Angel

Thank you so much

Bold move, but it seems like a smart move, Doug! Fire up the bike, lol. Cheers brother 🍻

Doig Ivwas just complaining about my insurance going up again. I also rarely use my car. I cant wait to see your carless journey.

Oh I don't know my brother what about picking up your kid and taking him places I guess you can use Uber what about do you need to get somewhere real fast but you got depend on somebody else to come get you ????

I won't be able to do that lol tell my baby mothers that...problem solved

Hope this works for you. It will be interesting to see your video in say 6 months after you adjust and work out the kinks. Good luck.

We did that for about 11 months once but we also live in a downtown area so it was easy. Our car had died and we just decided to see how long we could go. :) You can do it! Just think of all the $ you safe and you don't have to worry about maintenance, gas, insurance...all that. Nice!

I've been thinking about this for months, rarely use it

It’s not about getting by without a vehicle , it’s the extreme convenience of having one. This won’t last.

I think I did say 1 to 2 years in the video...thanks

good for you i gave up my car also five years now i walk everywhere and take buses i love it and for groceries get yourself a shopping cart yes they make them for men also lol i dont get produce delivered i like to pick my own good luck with your journey

Congrats that’s dope, wish we could all do this

I do online ordering for groceries and Walmart. Most do your initial purchase order for free with perks to see which you prefer. I like Walmart because they’re near but twice they delivered to the wrong address. They refunded me but it was the hassle of not getting my items and waiting 5 days for my refund. I’ve rented trough Turo if I’ve needed a car for multiple errands or when I need to transport large items. I brought a bike needed to get it home

Good for you😊

If u rarely use your car then i think u will be ok! Plus it will give u a reason to walk if theres like a dollar general nearby for a few items. Good exercise! Like we did in NY lol. Ive never used the grocery delivery thing because the prices go up from what ive been told but when u think about the savings from neverending car payments and insurance.. its so worth it!

Keep us posted on how the no car life goes. Good luck!

Good luck!

As long as it's what you want to do I'm happy for you.❤

@@COOKINGWITHDOUG your welcome

Good for you.

I can't wait to see how this will go for you.

I personally just bought an e-bike to commute back and forth to work because a car was outrageous. Then the other reasons I had were exactly what you mentioned, car insurance, registration fees, inspection, repairs and fuel.

Good thing you got your bike

Hey dougco gratz

I got rid of my car in 2017. Never looked back. I live in NJ so easy to get around. Back than I was bussing it back to work. But now Working from home since 2021. Groceries delivered most things I need delivered. A car is a money buster lol an expensive convenience

Wow

Wow😮😢

My buddy did the same thing he just bought an electric bike to get to work and back
