Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just passed my driver's test so now I'm car shopping.
And it's much more stressful, at least to me, than one would think.
Especially browsing craigslist and finding all these things "minor issues", "[blank] needs to be fixed", etc.
I've never been good with cars so I'm kind of waiting for my step-dad to get home since he knows more.
He said to look for a private buyer rather than a dealership since you get better deals, and I want a used car anyway.
(Really, first car shouldn't be new. I think older/used cars have more character anyway)

Now that my mini-rant is over, who drives?
I think we've had a bunch of threads about driving but it's something almost everyone does.
Who still has to pass or take their driving test?
(It's really not that bad)
What kind of car do you want?
Sports, truck, SUV, etc?
(I looking at smaller cars since I don't want something big)

I'm glad I have my license and am on my way to getting a car because I've been feeling really limited lately with just my bike.

Thanks! xd
Yours looks really nice too.
You just change it so often I forget to comment.

I'm kind of afraid that's how I'll be.
I'm not necessarily picky, but I know how I want my car to look.
I like sports cars, small and sleek.
But I've grown fond of the blockier look of 90s BMWs
So I really can't decide.
But beggars can't be choosers, I'm trying to find a reliable used car with 50,000 or less miles on it for under $4000.
I'm finding a lot of not so good cars so far. sweatdrop

That's good you were able to find your perfect car, and with good gas mileage!
My area is pretty close, so I can bike to a lot of my friend's houses.
But it gets so windy here, and I don't know if I've fully ranted about my vendetta against the wind, but I refuse to bike in it.
So I'm really glad I'll have the option of driving once I get a car.
(You couldn't bike to the mall from my house but you can get to Target which is almost as good.)

My mom and step-dad would rather find a person selling their car rather than a dealership since you get better deals, my step-dad claims, so I doubt we'll go car shopping for real.

LOL Now I really really want to go do that!! rofl rofl

I drive, well I already have a vehicle but I wouldnt mind having GTO (The Judge) or a Ford Gran Torino

Moonlight:
They do last.
But since they're foreign they're more expensive to fix when they do break.
There's enough cars in Vegas, according to craigslist that I have a lot of choose from.
But there's also a lot of crap. xD
FUN. If I can bike somewhere, I'll do that any day rather than walk.

CD:
Off topic but that was a good movie, Gran Torino.
Those are both pretty sweet cars though.

DT:
Ugh, that sucks.
I was one of the few in my group without a license too, except a lot of my friends have licenses without cars.
I'm actually getting a car. xD
Then I don't have to constantly bum rides off my friends that do have cars.
And I can drive to school on windy days!
That sounds nice and simple.
But those Aston Martins are pretty sweet.

I wasn't trying to imply anything with the poll
I just wanted a BS option.

To each his own though, I'm sure you have good reasons you don't drive.

Congrats Zizzy!!
Im underage so a few more years to wait:/ But I would like to have bigger car though.. Im kind of claustrophobic sweatdrop

Fate:
I made a joke about that to my friend just the other day! xD
I asked her if claustrophobic people drove Hummers.
Big cars are cool though, just harder to maneuver.
Reason I want a little car.

Goldman:
Nice!
It's great when cars just work.
My mom's old car has about that and it still works great.
Saturn Vue and my step-dad is driving it now.
(mom got a new car)
