It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

In college, I rode a bike because cars were expensive. That led to mopeds, foldable bikes, and now I'm exploring e-scooters.
It's now been almost 20 years and I still don't own a car personally. (But my wife does, which we use for shopping trips sometimes.)
I root for your success!
Glad to hear you were able to stay strong! I gave up on bikes and the like for awhile, and was in Nissan Leaf for a couple years. But a bit over a year ago I took the plunge and the money savings is just absurd. Even my life required $150 a month insurance, and repairs were always nasty, be it tires or that stupid AC that would have taken 2k to fix.
Uber also really is helpful as well, because once I had a large package I needed to take to the post office and I just grabbed an uber. Then another time I needed to take my cat to an emergency vet, so I called an uber pet.
Another time I found a great deal on a new looking sofa for $50, so I rented a truck. Was still WAY cheaper than buying the stupid thing new.
So having uber as a backup has really made life easier for me.
