I don't have a car and happy. The only thing you gotta watch out for is people might steal it if you go somewhere (alarm and locks take care of it). Other than that, you'll become virtually the toughest man on earth weather-wise (been riding through the rain, during 34 F and so forth). Couple of jackets, and you'll be straight. I don't regret my choice and I never will. Just be careful and know your own limits.
