Cars = getting a job to pay for the gas, the taxes, the repairs, the taxes, the annual state inspection, the taxes, the (usually) annual registration fees, and the taxes!
(Although, you are still able to go places further away without having to get a ride from someone else. In that sense, you are still more free.)
Not sure that there is many ground types that turn onto proper, flat and wild road when hundreds of kilos of vehicules roll over two small tire-large paths.
But who knows ? Maybe that’s just that my region soil that’s not car-friendly compared to other places.
It is now a minimum of, $1,000 in gas, $1,200 in insurance, and maintenance for a single year. At $2,200 a year, and I road a bus for 3 years at $28/mo or $336/year. I saved that $6,600 and purchased a car. Now I’m fucked with $2,200 year in expenses again. BUT I can drive to the beach if I wanna at a moments notice, so I guess I have that going for me.
The other half of this scam is the piss-poor public transport in a lot of countries, here in the UK if you’re not a Londoner the government could not care any less about carrots only sticks to get people out of cars.
Cars=freedom

(You still need a road, large, firm and plane enough. These don’t build themselves.)
I mean if enough people drive the same path, they almost entirely do build themselves, depending on the ground.
