this got me wondering just how
much it would have to reach before people on this newsgroup reached a
point
where they would be seriously thinking about giving up their car?

I wouldn't give up my car, but I would have to give up working for a
company in an industry I have 10years+ experience of, in a company where
I am pretty appreciated and I enjoy working for, in an office that is
pretty comfortable, and a not bad area, and find a job in walking
distance, in a different trade, starting again, for far lower money, in
less comfortable surroundings, and save the car for emergencies.

There are other means of getting about you know - hit two wheels, powered if
it's a bit far. Obviously it'll have to be a pootly machine rather than
something you'd be proud to be seen on, but who cares? It's just commuting.
