Do You Have A Car
 
what car do you have

Prisstina 12.19.2006 05:07 PM

Nope. Not legally able to drive yet (still 15). My parents want me to go through driver's ed and get my license, but they won't buy me a car. Don't have a job yet either, and probably won't care enough to buy my own car when I do. The bus is working for me just fine.

But my parents drive a Mazda Protege and a Mazda 5. So I guess that counts.

I got rid of my car when I got my latest bicycle.

I have a car. My dad bought me one for practicing here in the woods.
It only costed 700$ and it's a decent car.

no i dont becaise berlin has such a good transport system that i dont need one.

i was amazed in america just how many people have cars and drove everywhere. i met people in their 30's who had never used public transport for christ sakes.

its all very well and good having a car until you break down in the middle of knowehere and have to rely on the kindness of others to get you out of trouble.

I don't have car because I like public transport.

The thing is this: I don't have a car because I don't drive, I don't drive because I don't know how, I don't know how because I don't want to know how. Yet, once or twice a week I get telephone calls from insurance companies who insist that I've expressed an interest in switching my car insurance. Which is both stupid and irritating.

jon boy 12.19.2006 05:44 PM

haha thats true^^

i had an accident a few years ago that really seriously put me off driving for life.

'94 Acura Integra, 127k miles, bought it for $5,300 about a year ago.

Public transportation is great. I can get all-day bus passes through my high school for three dollars which give me unlimited rides all week.

Citroens are great!
So stylish.
I have lusted after both these models.
The top one for its unbelievably cool style and grace, and the bottom for its hilariousness that still maintains some dignity and coolness. Love those external headlights!!

val-holla-ing 12.19.2006 08:15 PM

i recently got a green '94 pontiac bonneville. it's pretty fly.

Norma J 12.19.2006 08:19 PM

I'm not a cars man. I just need one that works and I can lug my gear around in, and I'm fine.

EMMAh 12.19.2006 10:33 PM

I need my G1, so I can get my G2, then my G. Wouldn't life be grand?
Too bad I'm lazy

Better_Than_You 12.19.2006 10:41 PM

I'm fucked when it comes to getting a car. There is no way my parents will let me drive.

I speed too much.
I run through red lights.
I run through stop signs.
I've almost hit my sisters car twice (dont tell her... pleeease)
And I've hit the curb and banged up my dads car countless times.

I think I'll have to rely on the KAT bus.
(Only old people and mentally retarded people ride that bus. Which is cool... I love old people as long as they don't smell like death and hospitals.)

Better to be lazy than end up spending tonnes of money on automobile insurance, licence, lessons, etc. Busses are the way to go!

Norma J 12.19.2006 10:49 PM

But with cars you don't have to deal with dickhead commuters.

Inhuman 12.19.2006 11:30 PM

True, but on a financial and environmental scale I prefer bussing and subway systems.

But yeah, I drive my parent's car that's a Saturn SC 2002
 

HaydenAsche 12.20.2006 12:05 AM

Yes. I have a car.


1998 Ford Escort WAGON

SonikJesus 12.20.2006 01:07 AM

I have a 2007 Honda Accord coupe. I got it less than a month ago. My mom co-signed with me but I'm paying it. I barely make enough for the payments.
