Car brain really is a thing. Here in the UK it seems to be considered a thing that if you can afford one, you have one.
I sold my car (my wife has and needs one to be fair) 4-5 yrs back. Tried to make an ebike work but it didn’t fit my lifestyle so I bought an electric moped and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it.
Traffic is no longer a thing so it saves me so much time not having to allow time for it, it’s generally quicker/as quick as a car on all the trips I do, parking is easy and it’s dirt cheap to run.
How often is your wife’s car used for household errands? I don’t own a car but occasionally I’ve borrowed one for certain things.
It’s cheaper to buy bulky packages of say rice or toilet paper, but they’re inconvenient to move without a car. Furniture is nearly impossible to move with the bike I have. I could get a cargo bike, but where I live that would be impractical without a garage or a big shed to store it, whereas a car can just sit in a driveway.
I think I’ll be able to get by without a car for the foreseeable future, but I’ll probably end up using cars occasionally. If I can’t borrow one, I’ll maybe start using a car sharing service.
I’d use public transit, but honestly where I live and where I want to go it’s only slightly faster than walking, and so it’s almost never a worthwhile option.

Not sure I’ll ever buy a car again
