[quote=Anonymous]We shared a car one year (in our 11th year of hosting).  We lived right outside of DC, in Bethesda, at the time -- on Ride on and metro lines.  Still, many of AP's friends were not metro-accessible.  So DH rode his bike to work on the Crescent Trail each day, so that AP could have a car all day every day.  On weekends, we shared the car but it mostly worked -- we gave her notice when we absolutely needed two cars but otherwise we adjusted to having one car so that we could give her mostly free run with a car.

It worked very well in our case, but again, AP had use of the car 97% of the time, and we drove her to the metro or to friends' houses on the other 3% that she didn't have a car available.

When we moved very slightly further away from the city, we got a third car.  We now lease a 2016 Toyota Carolla on a 24 month lease, and the cost is $70 per month.  Well worth that (and more) --- Happy AP, happy family, as someone said above.  Now is a great time to get a 2017 lease -- the dealers are trying to get rid of their 2017 cars.
