Also an "early careerist," I love my cars and would hate to go without them. I have an 09 Fusion [[company car) and a 92 Buick Century, which I maintain myself. I'm also a classic car enthusiast, and am in the process of acquiring a 1963 Ford Falcon van [[think "Mystery Machine" from Scooby Doo).

That being said, I can't wait for the high speed rail to be completed between Toledo and Chicago. Transit is great for dense urban areas, but for areas like Detroit where the population is more dispersed buses and carpooling make more sense economically than rail lines.
