I noticed a severe lack of automobile threads on this board.
That's probably due to the fact that the main focus of the board is video gaming/Nintendo/Super Mario, not cars. :P
As for driving, I only own a driving permit. I received a New York State Learner's Permit on May 2nd, 2005, and I haven't upgraded. Why? Well, let us take a look at my normal daily routine:
In Summer:
12:00-13:30 - Wake up
12:05-13:35 - Turn on the computer, change, make the bed
12:10-13:40 - Use teh internets for browsing, chatting, etc. OR watch a few episodes of a television show I downloaded the previous day
18:00 - Eat dinner the mother had just brought home/ordered over the phone (she does not/cannot cook)
18:10 - Resume looking at teh internets/play a video game
19:00 - Watch a little TV
19:30 - Resume looking at teh internets/play a video game
23:20 - Shower
23:45 - Once again, resume looking at teh internets
01:30 - 03:00 Go to bed
During the school year:
06:30 - Wake up, change
06:40 - Hop on the school bus (this'll probably be the only time I'll ever leave the house for a period of time)
06:50 - Start school (1st period LITERALLY starts before 07:00 in this district. New York really is a butt-backwards state, for pretty much everything)
13:50 - School ends for the day
14:00 - Open the front door to the house
14:05 - Turn on the computer, look at teh internets/play a video game
18:00 - Eat dinner the mother had just brought home/ordered over the phone
18:10 - Resume looking at teh internets/play a video game
19:00 - Watch a little TV
19:30 - Resume looking at teh internets/play a video game
23:20 - Shower
23:45 - Once again, resume looking at teh internets
01:30 - Go to bed
I hardly ever leave the house.
Though, last year, I seriously thought I'd have a driver's license and a car by Spring of 2006. That is not true today. I am unemployed, and have nowhere to go.
Unfortunately, the reason I cannot get employment is due to the fact that there is NOBODY AROUND to drive me to where I'd like to work. My father, mother, and brother work full-time jobs, and neither of my parents get home until 18:00. The Learner's Permit only allows me to drive with a parent in the car.
I cannot get a permanent Driver's License, because I have no money, because I'm unemployed, and cannot get employed because there's no one to drive me to work.
VICIOUS CYCLE GET!
(Yes, I'm rambling. I'll get back to your topic.)
As for your poll, I don't find ANY of those choices to be appealing, to be honest....The Honda Civic, I guess. But my dream car has always been a BMW 325i Sedan.
