Rick is right. Kids nowadays don't even have a desire to drive at 16. I have two in my own extended family.

I got my license the day I turned sixteen because I wasn't a secluded weirdo.

Well it would've been weird to sit in your garage all day without a car being there .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

This is completely true...have a cousin with triplets...one of the 3 couldn't wait to get his license. The other 2 were completely indifferent to it...the girl got hers at 18 because she couldn't afford to Uber to and from school every day when her parents were at work, and the 3rd one still refuses...moved into the city so he didn't have to drive anywhere.

Got mine at around 16-1/2...my dad wouldn't let me until I could afford my own insurance...but when I got my license, I had the pleasure of paying $100 to my step-grandmother (at the time) for her late husband's 1983 Cutlass Ciera.

Friend of mine had an 83 Ciera. It was a decent car for the time.

I could never complain about it...had really low mileage for a 13 year old car at the time...the problem was that the guy had MS, and when he couldn't drive anymore, it sat in the garage, and over time, everything seemed to rot out. Got me through high school...only died on me twice. College was a different story. Alternator went out waiting at a train crossing on Northwest Highway going through Park Ridge. Transmission went out while driving to Mundelein. Radiator seals had rotted out, so for the last 3 months of it's existence, I was droping sealer and more antifreeze in it almost daily...and then the passenger side rim completely rotted through, and my front tire fell off while I was rolling through a stop sign in Palatine. My dad found a new rim at the junk yard for like 30 bucks, and the day after that all got fixed, I was warming the car up in the driveway, and the engine blew.

Yeah no shit. Nothing much worse on a car than sitting without being driven. Ruins tons of internal seals and gaskets.

Funny thing was that, other than the transmission, alternator, and the ridiculous amount of antifreeze, it wasn't too bad. I did the thermostat myself for like 20 bucks. I think it cost me more to have the tire mounted on the rim than it was for the new rim. But, truth be told, it was better than trying to balance a car payment I couldn't afford at 18 along with everything else.

The whole casual blowjob thing doesn't work if you don't actually go to the same place.

Hell of a car for $100. Reminds me of my 74 Gran Torino Sport I got for $500 in 1984 because my buddy had a cocaine debt. 67,000 miles 351 Cleveland 4bbl. Ran like a raped ape. Chucked it with 123,000 front end was falling off. Best Ford I ever had. And the only Ford car that wasn't a piece of shit.

So you rode around with the Starsky and Hutch theme playing in your head?

Not quite. Old man that was the original owner had weird taste apparently. Ordered the Sport package with the 351 and 4bbl. Auto floor shift with console, all the other options and then added fucking opera windows and a goddamn rear quarter vinyl roof. Dickbag.

now that I just found out that ur a chick, maybe we can fuck sometime.

I didn't get my license until almost 19 because most everyone drove and were serious delinquents who would let me drive. I really had no reason to get one until my parents forced me.

I personally dont own a car right now. I share one. I just cannot justify the cost at the moment. If you can get away without owning one it is a substantial savings. That said, this country was built for it so even in a lot of cities you are adding a burden. But most everyone would accept that when looking at the savings. It's crazy when you add up how much a car costs each year even when you have the title. The average car payment this year went up to well over $400. People are stupid, but it explains what I am seeing in my area. There are homes as low as $90,000 in some areas with at least two newer cars in the driveway. Nice cars, too.

I think I am going to buy an 25ft Airstream and move out to Arizona where a family member left me some land with a clean but small river on it. Id just have to buy some solar panels and some propane. At that point I will have to buy a pickup truck and the prices are bonkers. If I sold my property, nearly 1/3 of that would go into a decently loaded pickup. It's nearly the cost of the Airstream itself. I could buy used but the resale values are so high it makes sense just to bite the bullet. The new Dodge Rams look nice.
