But it wasn't an experiment to see whether we could do it, nor was it very funny. I agreed to get rid of my car in order to unload a big mistake called an auto lease. The plan was that we would share one vehicle for three months to save the money needed to pay cash for a second car. To me, it was embarrassing. I didn't want anyone to know we couldn't afford two cars. I didn't like giving up the inde- pendence I felt by knowing my car was always available to me. Nearly 10 years later, we remain a one-car family by my choice. Though it was difficult in the begin- ning, I have to say it has become so easy I hardly ever think about it anymore. It's just the way we live. • Get motivated. If you really want to kick the second-car habit, add up the costs: the monthly pay- ment, insurance, annual registra- tion, gasoline, oil changes, tires, biennial smog check (mostly a Cal- ifornia thing), car washes and other repairs and maintenance. You are going to be shocked by what you Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff ’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.

If you maintain three cars or more, multiply accordingly. • Plan ahead. You'll be giv- ing up a lot of spontaneity. Really, that's a good thing. If it means you will be at home during the day without a car, plan ahead for when you will gro- cery shop in the evening or on the weekend. For- get running errands whenever a need crosses your mind.

Think about walking your kids to school, walking to the drugstore and the post office, to the library, church and grocery. • Rent. There will come a time when you really do need a second vehicle. No problem. Agree now that when and if that happens, you will rent a car for a day or two. • Public transporta- tion. Pull out the maps and check the Web sites of public transportation in your area.
