Why do I have 2 cars? I am dedicated to keeping my 1992 Ford Festiva on the road. small, cheap to repair. 42mpg. and I can haul as much as a small pickup in it. Carbon to produce it was 30yrs ago. No carbon to produce a new car.
So I got a 2nd one to use as a spare driver and/or emergency parts. It also serves as storage.
Went from 2 to 1 early in the pandemic. We live in the country, so everything requires just a bit more planning, but that's fine. Very, very rarely in a situation where we both need a car at the same time, and when we do, we can usually borrow one, or figure out some other arrangement.
Live in London so, none. Modes of transport in order of frequency and preference: walking, bus, bike, and a distant last, tube. Wish bike was ahead of bus but situation and health means otherwise.
If and when we need one, Zipcar/Zipvan for short hires, and hire car company for more than a day ones. Very rare for either.
Wife's car, VW ID.3 in active use. My own car, a 2011 Nissan LEAF is currently not in use and has been parked and unloved on the driveway for ~ยฝ a year since I'm working remote and don't need it until summer.

•My wife also has one.
So two in our household.
When our kids were at home, another one or two depending.
Also, mine is for sale, anyone want to buy a 2011 Hyundai IX35?
