Interesting thread....We have thought about going down to one, but it just doesnt seem to work out....We are out in the sticks and not walking distance to anywhere...My problem would be with times that I need to leave one overnight for vehicle repair and having less freedom for the other person....

[flipstress]

2-person household (1 working FT, 1 working PT): 1 car

I take the bus or I bike to work (3 miles away) most of the time. I take the car to work maybe once a week.

He takes the bus or bikes to work (3.5 miles away), and he puts his bike on the bus for longer trips within our town.

We use the car on the weekends to run errands, visit friends, and sometimes go out of town.

Car will be 10 years old next month, has about 83,000 miles on it, and still runs well.

Two people (1 ER, one job) two cars. We plan to consolidate to one car after DD graduates college next spring. We will give one to her if she wants one (probably not if she stays in NYC). Otherwise we will sell. There are times when a second car can be very handy but we have ready access to Zipcars and Flexcars here on Capitol Hill. So owning one car will be fine.

Four vehicles, 2 1/2 drivers. I still work, DW is retired and youngest son is off to college. He took one car with but it is not 'his' officially (try to pry it out of his hands) So DW has her can and I have mine and we have a 1985 VW camper which I plan to give to older son shortly, so we would be down to 3 at that point.

It's about $800/yr through USAA. But I have comp on only 4 of them with liability and collision on the 2 that we are driving at any one time. The liability is switched several times a year depending on what we are driving. The last time the liability was switched, the insurance administrator balked a little.

The old toys have been staying dormant. Now that I'm FIREd, there will be more time for playing with them.

 

[kumquat]

I'm curious?
My old cars costs me very little in insurance, I guess because the insurance companies realize that the $10K value we've agreed on won't cover sentimental value and we drive our collector stuff much more defensivey than our new stuff.
Same down south?
