After Ownership
Why would you want a car? In Sheboygan, going car-free should feel like an upgrade, not a sacrifice.What you never deal with again
No car payment, insurance bill, repair shop, gas station, registration renewal or parking hunt. No scraping ice at 6 a.m., no shoveling the car out after the plow, no dead battery in January.
