It ' s nice , but a bit of a mixture of styles . I get the feeling you ' re going for a cars , pixar , toy story vibe . Stuff like the window bars are too narrow . Its like a real VW van has been squished with the idea you have in your mind . Also the environment reflections in the hubs don ' t match the sky . You need to look at your edges as they shade weird where they turn 90 degrees . You might get a better look beveling the edges . <| sep |> I ' ve done both . The determining factor isn ' t freedom or money . I think those factors weigh in favor of having at least a cheap car you use judiciously . The ability to travel and make pitstops anywhere without waiting in a freezing urine soaked subway platform and being groped is priceless . Rather , the determining factor is traffic and parking . In a high traffic expensive parking area like NYC , a car isn ' t worth it unless you have a weekend home outside the city . Some have mentioned shopping . Sure , not having to carrying everything around is a major convenience of having a car but I think an even bigger pro may be that it really expands the breathe of stores available to you at any given time . I almost feel guilty having easy access to stores that those without cars consider onceayear pilgrimages .
