Cars

Twyla and I often talk about the livability of Melbourne primarily in the context of our ongoing debate about if, when, and where we will we move next. In the car a few days ago we did some quick calculations about our driving habits compared to what we were used to in Texas. We leased a new car about eleven months ago and it just recently cracked 4,000 kilometers. In Texas we drove an average of 12,000 miles per year in each of our two cars. Collectively that’s almost 40,000 kilometers a year. I think that’s one of the reasons why we like this city so much.
