You certainly have a unique situation. Not many of us can get by without
the old auto (or two, or three). But you're sure right about avoiding auto
expenses being helpful when it comes to paying for the plane. With the way
auto's depreciate you are probably coming out ahead by putting the money
into the airplane instead.

I'm trying like crazy to avoid spending money on replacing one of my cars.
I like to drive them till the wheels fall off, and avoid car payments.

I like your approach. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I live downtown Chicago and don't have a car, and the plane is at KGYY, so
I
1. Walk 12 minutes to train
2. 50 minute train ride - flight planning time
3. Walk 20 minutes from train to hangar

Train runs only on even hours back on the weekend, so I have to be careful
with timing - sometimes don't have time to re-fuel or clean the bugs off
when I get back. But not having a car sure helps pay for the Arrow.
