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.

Zizzykitty Moonlight_HuangHou One of the dealerships we went too really didn't want to let us go and even said I should draw them a pic of the car that I want so they can find a closest match. XD You should have drawn a spaceship. See what they would have done. I really want to go to a dealership and get them to ask me this then try that. I want to see this reaction. LOL Now I really really want to go do that!! rofl rofl

They last long too. If you're looking for someone selling their vehicle instead of a dealer I understand how hard that must be. sad Here where I am you just see one or two here and there so it's like you have to go to a dealership... Biking on a windy day....I'd be against that too. Then again I'm also against biking on a very hot day. I tried walking to my uncles house with my mom and sister...and it's just a 15 min drive away...on a hot day it felt like it took an hour to get there. >_< On the other hand...if you buy it from someone instead of a dealership that means you won't have the monthly car loan payment only insurance right? IF that's how it works...wow! Think of how much you save!! ^^
