hum….i think i would love it:)
if it wasn’t just me, if everyone was in the same boat as me, i think it would be great. we would cut down on unnecessary gases in the air, roads might return to a more natural state, habitats might grow back. Of course, i would hate not having immediate transportation but we could all ride bikes, flying or sailing for long distances. we might become more relaxed, and actually work together to get things done and new ideas started. i really wouldn’t mind.
Well my husband would cry because there would be no more Nascar..
I’m a bit of a tree hugger myself, so I would be happy with these changes. I’d be like thank God finally our world many actually have a better chance or surviving. There has been a great deal of damage already done as we stand right now, but in time the world may start being able to heal itself more and more. Instead of constantly having to cough on fumes while it tries to cope.
Hopefully people can then stop and take a second look at what pollution is doing to our world, and take the step to a better more healthy world for the planet and for ourselves. With two of my family members going though cancer treatments as I write, I can only hope that someday we’ll all appreciate the environment a bit more, and take a look at what were putting on our skin and ingesting through the air we breath.
As for our limitations we’ll adapt, and find better ways to travel, and not at the worlds expense.
Wonderful. When I was a kid very few people had cars. We walked to local shops, lived near where we worked, and therefor cared about the people and surroundings around us. Kids could play anywhere safely, and with no commuting, parents had time to talk or work with us. And with no cars – think of the opportunities for local small business replacing the big chains. And probably stocked with good things we need, instead of glitchy fly-traps as a substitute for contentment. Personally I enjoy the modern “splendors”, but I know they are not sustainable – and that there are more satisfying ways to live. So I’d “cope” in a glorious, quiet, sweet-smelling world, very well, I think, just as I did more than 70 years ago.
I would love it. Cars are not necessities. This is why we have legs! Granted, I can’t fully understand the impact it would have on my life if it were to happen. I’m sure it would be very difficult, but people got around without cars for a very long time. I would love it! Not having to worry about gas costs or polluting the air or anything. I’d go horse-and-buggy over a car anyday.
It would be very difficult to get to every day places in a short amount of time. Grocery shopping couldn’t be a common activity. I would take hours to get to the store.
If this were to happen, we would all be able to appreciate the world a little better. Having the time without a car to look at the world would be amazing.
However, I can’t really say much about this because I don’t have to commute to a long-distance job every day or something like that. It would be very difficult to get to work on time without cars.
In my opinion, there are definitely more benefits to this event. However, I think we should all go back to the early days when we had no cars, TV, computers, planes, trains, etc. We should write letters by hand and not by keyboard. It’s more personal that way. We should spend more time with dear ones. Technology has ruined many things.
I live a long ways from town, and I’m disabled. I would truly be crippled without my car. When the automobile was invented it was hailed as a “pollution solution”. Horse manure and urine was so plentiful that the gutters of streets flowed with it. Swarms of flies were so dense they would block out the sun. Rivers were seriously polluted by the run off. They had to be fed even while not being used. Imagine how bad it would be today with the number of horses required to replace cars? Imagine what it would do to the food supply if we had to grow and transport that much horse food?
Funny you should ask this. I lost my truck to repo back in august. I got a bicycle. It wasn’t an easy transition but it’s getting easier bit by bit. Now I bicycle to work half the time, the other half I use my parents vehicles. Most of my errands are done on the bike now (within a 4 mile radius of home). My work is 3 miles away. Without vehicles I’d survive because I’d make the transition to cycling full time with some more minor adjustments to wardrobe for snow/rain gear (which is rare in the desert anyhow). It’d kill what’s left of my knees and hips because of the arthritis but it’s doable.
I do not have a car and I do not miss it. I am generally house-bound so transport is not a problem getting from one room to another. I think that if you rely on a car you would be devastated as this would restrict your movements between job and family and friends.
I would just be grateful that I DL’ed a bunch of pictures from the Automaker websites.
2008 Ford Mustang

The sound of crickets chirping? Yuck!
well it would be silent
streets would look kinda odd with no cars, trucks…..
day would not be bad i work like 6 blocks from home
store is like 4 blocks
i have a bike
i think i would be ok with it
only thing that would suck is going to another city or across town
we would be healthy haha
wow….better get the bike out of the basement. Haven’t been on it in a couple years…but then you don’t forget…..
I just bought a new car…I LOVE MY CAR…I WOULD MISS MY CAR…
I certainly would not see my grandbabies as much as I do now…..it is 15 miles away…MUCH to far to walk.
Does this mean buses too? I could take a bus!
Horses are out….not a big enough pooper scooper for them.
My bike would get me anywhere I needed to go, but our work comes to us from LA on trucks, so if no trucks, no work, no money, no food.
I’m guessing carpenters would really be in demand to make wagons, and trains would make a huge comeback.
Well, if you lived in Holland, Germany, or Japan, things wouldn’t be too bad. Excellent public transportation. If however, you lived in the US, you’d be waiting a few hours for the bus and wondering who stole your bike.
I’d be pissed because my father and I run a small trucking company and we would be out a couple hundred thousand dollars in equipment.
You don’t seem to understand how much of your life revolves around trucks…
Everything in your home was delivered on a truck…
If that went away, you would have no access to clothes, food, furnature, medication… NOTHING after what was on the shelves of your local store sold out…
MANY people would die… Just from lack of food and medication.
Then it takes trucks to tear down old houses and build new ones…
No trucks means no new houses until we can regain the skills to build them by hand again… And figured out how to transport the rubble of the old houses to the dumps without trucks…
I can think of thousands of things that would go wrong in our lives just by the lack of trucks…
Cars? I can do without cars… But trucks? This PLANET would stop spinning and people would die without trucks…
On top of all that… I’m disabled and need a hip replacement… I can’t really walk that far… I am physically unable to ride a bike… (Which is the worst part of my condtion… I LOVED MY BIKE) and so I would have to rely upon others to shop for me because unless I got a wheelchair, I’d be pretty screwed.
I would just die, especially since we recently got a sexy new black 2008 Dodge Challenger! I love that car!
My life would be devastating, but I’d probably have to move on, just like everyone else. I work at home online so my life wouldn’t be too different.
I don’t drive much at all. I mostly either walk, or take buses and trains. All it would mean is that the places I rely on my parents to give me a lift to, I would need to find a bus route to.
I would try to find out what happened and why it happened. Probably spend most of the day collecting information.
Depending on what I learn would depend on what I did the next day.
I’d immediately go to the nearest grocery store and buy as much food and water as possible knowing that there would be a shortage very quickly due to inability to transport it
wow, nice question you sound like you are a flippin teacher!!!! that will never happen so why are you even asking it doesn’t even matter…
I know of a very nice horse I would like to buy. If I could keep it in the suburbs without the zoning nazis going after it, I would be happy
Well vehicles are pretty much a necessity here.
It would be quite limiting.
We’d probably all be in much better shape.
but I would still want a car.
The best solution would be to put Al Gore on a waterboard until he tells us which on of his Global Warming econazis did this.
I would walk and take the time to look around me. Too much blurs past us as we speed down the road. I think it would be a blessing.
If it really happen, I’m gonna feel miserable. coze I can’t live without it. but I think it’s also gonna be cool.
At least half the population of the United States would starve to death within the first month.
Well, im pretty sure the air would smell fresher.
I would invent the automobile and get rich.
Walking to work for 1/2 a day each way would totally suck. No time to punch in I must start walking home!
“Legs, don’t fail me now!”
I’d get a horse
