I may have my SUV over here, but being here, I am also aware of how much I really do not need to drive it.
It's great for huge shopping trips to stock up once a month, and for the occasional road trip, but we have Trams (http://www.tramlink.net/menu.htm or Trolleys) here in Croydon and the surrounding areas, plus we're 3/4 of a mile from the train station which can take us anywhere in the UK. So, it's easy to just use mass transit. It wasn't like that where I lived in Parsippany, NJ. I HAD to drive EVERYWHERE. I remember Beth, when you were all over me about taking my truck to the UK, but it's a tie to my old life, not an ego thing with me ... I love my truck like I love my pets. You may think this is really scary, but I actually pet my truck and give it occasional hugs. My wheels have always had a very special meaning in my life, they mean my independence. Sure it's big, and extravagant, but it's mine. Or, mine and Philip's now. :) And since mass transit is so easy, I'll be saving hundreds of dollars in gas bills, keeping the truck just for outiings.
