The best car

[David Kelly]

we don't really have a good public transportation system in our city. we have a bus system but it's downtown but not many people use it. our city really isn't big enough to really need one anyways. i can't even imagine what it's like to not have a license. i love being able to drive myself where ever i feel like going.

As far as public transportation systems go, I know that the Metro in DC is really good. From what I hear the system in NYC is really good, my friends up there either don't have a license or have one that's from out of state. At any rate, none of them drive. Chicago's El is supposed to be really good too.

I believe I am the youngest regular poster here.

I am SO SORRY. I was talking to him at the time that I wrote that post. I mess people's names up all the time like that. Sorry.

you all who have ever had public transportation have no clue how lucky you are..we have nothing even remotely close to that with-in 30 minutes of Stuart (West Palm has Palm Tram and Tri-rail). I wish we had it. I'm just afraid to get my license. There's also that whole thing about being able to afford gas/car/insurance. Oh well. Guess I'll get my license when I know I have to (which isn't right now) or when my friends finally bug the crap out of me to get it.

~Angela who's goal is to get her license before Matt gets his

You'd be insane if you tried to drive everywhere in NYC. Playing bumper cars with taxi cabs can be fun, but it takes a seasoned driver to be able to successfully navigate our roads (i.e. the folks that grew up here).

I'm 40 miles outside of the city, but I still take the train in. It's like $70 to park for the day if I were to drive.

Drive, in Florida? No way. People here cannot drive! I've been down here for a month now and I hate to drive. Someone needs to explain that just because you put your blinker on doesn't mean you can change lanes right at that moment and when your trying to cross lanes of traffic from a median you pull all the way forward rather than just around the curb near you. The thing that really is annoying is that no one seems to understand that you're supposed to go every other car when two lanes converge, on the inter-state you don't speed up to cut off the person comming up the ramp when they have the spedd to mesh in. I could go on forever but that would be useless. Bottom line is, driving in Florida is impossible. Having a license is great, I love the freedom, but it's ot worth it driving in Florida. I wish I had room to bring my bike down with me, I'd go more places with out other people driving me there. Don't bukle under the pressure Fishy! Get your license if/when you're ready.

There is no public transportation here in Indy.. there is INDYGO, but it doesn't come as far south as where we are.... and it only goes downtown. Right now I am content with the Jeep, but the only thing is taht gas costs so much... I just paid $1.36... and almost cried when i filled the tank!

i think the sticker said 13/15

What year do you have? my bf has an '85 and it gets horrible mileage.

[EddieMcD]

$1.36 for gas? EVIL!

We pay on averge $1.60 to $1.70.

[volleygrrl234]

That is expensive for me, considering that i can fill up the tank on $20, but it only lasts like 3 days... it gets expensive at $1.36.. but some place not really close to me had gas for 99 cents, but i was on my way to volleyball practice so i couldn't get it. It was down to 1.16 one day.

[Lng_02]

I hate michigan. Gas yesterday was 1.43. Granted my car's a 90 Tracer. Awesome mileage. Lately been pullin darn near 30 with it. Whoo! saving me money with these high prices.

I drive an 81 and my mileage is pretty good.I think it's about 15/18. Then again I haven't checked in the last 6 months.
