How many times per year do you drive out to the mountains? Most rental car companies usually offer really cheap weekend rates, so you very likely could come out ahead financially by not owning a vehicle and just renting whenever you want to travel out of town for a day or two.
Of course, that assumes you live in a walkable communitiy, though. I can get by without owning a car because I live in the Beltline and literally everything I need is within walking distance of my home. OTOH, for people who choose to live in the suburbs, vehicle ownership is pretty much mandatory.
