I feel so old and SO naive

Regardless of why it may have been made, if it works for your needs, that's cool. I may have to check them out if I'm near a gas station.

Where do you live where it's questionable whether or not you will ever be near a gas station, but you still have internet access?

We don't own a car, so I rarely go to a gas station. I won't be making a special trip for this lighter.

My mind has just been blown.

Do you travel by donkey?

Do you travel by donkey?

Rarely if ever. It's usually by a bike--powered by me.

Just curious....for health reasons...philosophical reasons...$$$ reasons....why no car? Honestly, I'd love to live where public transportation was good enough that I didn't need to drive, or have the physical ability to ride a bike the 20 miles one way to work every day. Sadly, I'm blessed with neither.

All of the above plus environmental (I guess that falls under philosophical). It's actually very nice not having something that requires so much expense and maintenance. We've found there are more appropriate ways to travel. While a car is very convenient and fits most needs, it's also super expensive, even if the car is paid off: insurance, gas, oil, other maintenance, repairs, etc. We've been car ownership-free for almost a year now. We do all our shopping by bike and trailer, travel by bike and occasionally bus, and have rented a car once. We carpool when needed and chip in for gas.
