Like I said, it doesn't represent freedom, cars represent the speed and scale of activity that you can take part in. You can take part in the activity whether you have the car or not though. Just slower, or at a much smaller scale. You can't tow, or pull, a bass boat without a car. So that's not freedom. Now you have a big boat. You have to pay for it. Get gas. Have to use it enough to make it worth buying. Also have to get the car, fill it with gas, etc. Speed and scale of activity, not freedom of activity.
And I went over the grocery thing, and anything else that's hard to do, in one of the other posts I wrote in the thread. I'm not going to tell you to not use a car to carry your groceries, or that you can't use it, or that you shouldn't use it. That would be dumb on my part.
