With a car in CC, I can do everything you do, and a whole lot more quicker and more convenient. Having a car in cc is the best of both world.
Id drop my car in NYC, but never in Philly.

That's great...congratulations. I'm not telling anyone to get rid of their car I'm just telling you I don't need one. Having one was way more of a hassle than it was worth. I wasn't willing to pay a couple hundred a month to house a car that I would use once a month, plus insurance, maintenance, etc. Why is everyone trying to convince me otherwise? Especially since I had one and got rid of it and am happier with my situation now?
My experience having a car in CC has been the worst of both worlds. All the congestion, lack of parking, and random damage to my car, coupled with high insurance, parking fees, and random towing by PPA.
And anyway...when did you live in CC? You live in Wissahickon now and lived in South Philly before that...no?
