Funny how that works DD. My wife has the Jeep and she always wants me to drive it when it's snowy or bad out. But when it's sunny who gets to drive?? Her of course. Why?? Because it's "her" car. :roll:

haha... I like knowing that I am in command of my vehicle at all times. My car doesn't have FM radio (class, right?) so when I am driving there aren't many distractions... except when I am listening to Rush and smacking the wheel every time I agree with him.

She on the other hand loves the iPod and her cell while driving... so I yell at her constantly
 
Well after about 3 weeks of not driving my car, with it sitting in the driveway in -15 to -25 degree weather, my car finally started today after we jumped. I was so HAPPY!

rocket you are a car ho!
 
they have that weather down in Tampa that is ideal for cars... absolutely no salt to ruin the carriage when the winter comes
 
Nice cars, Rocket. Fuel efficiency can't be too high, though ;)

[troll]
European Cars > American cars.

yes, lol, i have a problem with cars, sports memorabilia, and golf clubs... but i am trying to fix this. i just sold my '05 GTO, i have a buyer for my firetruck, and Im going to sell one of the Mustangs next.... and I have stopped buying golf clubs until i get a new putter. heh. this is definitely not the time to be blowing $$$ like i have been doing for so long :arrogant:

I am not totally sure yet. I'm leaning towards just a civic right now, but I'll have to see what pops up. I've got a ways to go anyways.

gotcha. well, i dont know what you are planning on spending, but i bought that 1996 Mystic Cobra with only 7000 orig miles on it for 13k a couple of years ago. it still has the plastic covering the back seats. its like a brand new car thats 13 years old. you could eat off the engine its so clean. i think thats the way to go these days: buy an older, low-mileage car. you can get some great deals on a car that is better than a brand new car of the same price or more. i recently saw a 1990 Mustang GT Convertible with only 1,600 original miles on it for $10,000. that thing was gorgeous. basically a 19 year old brand new car for 10k.

That is an amazing deal. Closest I've ever came to seeing something I could afford was a 2000 Honda Civic with 200,000 KM's on it. For $2,500
 
Not yet, but once I get my license over the summer and maybe a car, then Im a FREE man. I doubt i'd be home often i'll be golfing and hanging out all the time.

Man
I felt just like that 37 years ago.
 
I cant drive for another three months and it sucks because I always have to find rides everywhere
 
I get off my provisional license in 4 days (get it off on the 15th). For those who don't know what that is, basically in Alaska you get your license at 16, but for the first 6 months you can't have anyone but direct family in your car. Its to get you used to driving or something, I don't know. All I know is I haven't followed the provisonal rule.
 
I have my permit, but no full liscence yet. I get my restricted in Janurary. Then I can drive by myself to the golf course. I drive to the golf course all the time when I'm with my dad. Im getting an 2009 Red Jeep Wrangler
