[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have one personal car right now. I work from home and my husband has a work car. So our issues all happen on the weekends, since he can’t use the work car for non-work purposes. If he didn’t have a work car, I wouldn’t really love being home without a car—but we’re not near a metro.

I also don’t love juggling cars on the weekend, but we’re managing. We’ll likely get a second car when prices normalize. Until then I think you should just see how it goes. You’ll know pretty quickly if it’s a PItA on a daily basis. For sick kids—do you have a SAH/WAH/retired neighbor who has a car you could bum? I wouldn’t want to put a contagious or barfing kid in the car with an Uber driver. [/quote]

You don't borrow a car for a sick kid.  OP needs a second car.[/quote]

They have one car.  If she has an emergency with a sick kid.  They can use lyft/uber.  You don't spend $25k plus insurance on a new car just  cause you "might" have an emergency.[/quote]

Okay, well I’m very close with my neighbors. They’ve borrowed our truck to haul things and we’ve borrowed their mini van to take the kids places. Surely they’d be cool if I drove their car 5 minutes to pick up a sick kid—the one time per year that might happen. I’d loan mine out for that. Maybe not if it’s uncontrolled vomiting, but in that case DH picks up the kid. [/quote]
