In the end I decided I didn't want to learn to drive that badly (I couldn't afford professional lessons back then), and I've never felt the loss since then so I still don't drive.

Everybody needs to know how to drive. But you need to learn from someone you don't know too well. Also, it's really tough if the teacher owns the car. Sometimes it's better to learn on the junkest old jelopy available. Another ding or too won't matter, so there is nothing to get up tight about. Besides, if you can drive a clunker, a good car will be a breeze.
