Pfft...too effing young to be making excuses...I see even more "normal" car at the Toronto event than I do down here. If someone can be doing something like that in a Mercedes B250 or a Honda Civic or a Jetta TDI, you don't need a "car for something like that".
I'd like to live in a place where commuting does not need a car(that is not Toronto except dead smack downtown), but that just mean a car will just be for enjoyment be it as on trips or actually enjoying driving. Driving because its required is not fun at all...
