I got rid of my car in 2005. Raised 4 girls and home schooled on an income considered below "poverty" in Virginia. A small economy car was $400/mo back in '05. The expense is ridiculous now - and the govt can hack into new cars remotely and disable stuff (and so can others - some white hat videos demonstrating the danger).

I got a bicycle. It is actually faster than a car within an 8 mi circle. We had just one car for the family. Also great improvement in health!
