Am I the only one that has given up on that thing called car?
I ditched mine after I realized that I paid more in parking fines than gas every month (and gas in Sweden is NOT cheap). Sucks living in the middle of the city.
So nowadays I stick to a great pair of shoes, my MTB and car rentals when I need to go further than my bike can take me.

when I was living in Bolivia I had a fun little 50cc scooter. All you had to do was let sniff gasoline and it would run forever. I also did plenty of walking and took the bus, when I was feeling lazy.

Sweden must have some pretty severe winters, kudos to you for biking and walking in the cold! =D

No scooter for me either. I'd probably collect tickets on that damn thing too. I'm a frickin ticket magnet

If I had no car nor truck nor motorcycle, I would be doing a lot of walking everyday. We are a small town and our closest grocery store is about 10 mins by car from here And I would have to "borrow" a shopping card and look like a bum pushing it home We have no mass transit.
