I've already got a car and I don't even have my L's yet... :x It's not a really good one though, but I don't mind. And it's manual :/ |
Quote:
Also, I hear starting out with manual is good since you are forced to learn it, and once you do, you are set for life. xD I started with automatic, thus if I had to drive someone else's car and it was stickshift, I would be screwed, lol. |

And the car was meant to be my Nonna's but she didn't want it so it's mine. That makes my house occupied by 6 vehicles now. And my mum said the same thing about manual. I'm just scared I'm going to go into the wrong gear and ram someone |

You just need to be attentive when you're driving. I don't know how to drive a manual, but I've heard enough tips that I could probably figure it out if I had to.
The minivan I share with my brother probably needs some work done on its steering column, but it's still going even after 185,000 (?) miles and nearly 14 years in existence. It looks like crap but it starts every time! |
You're getting fat Impo, please exercise more! Do 300 push-ups a day! >:3

That really sucks. You might be better off getting a new car entirely if it's that much. |
Yeah it sure isn't worth the price of the engine. Glad I got a back up truck, only thing is Diesel is so expensive these days.
|
Or just get a bicycle. The exercise is great for you! o3o;
|
Exercise is great, but when it gets cold and your house is several miles from work and school its kind of a pain to ride a bike.

Oh well. I was just trying to promote the...uhh, health of the Earth? xD

Replaced the transmission for that minivan I mentioned back in February out of my own pocket. The whole deal cost about $2900 in total for a lot of other work we had them do since we had already sunk money into replacing the battery just before that winter (for safety reasons, of course). Probably got another 5 or 6 years out of that engine by doing that. Cheaper than buying something that would actually outlive the repair work, since we know the vehicle history and we wouldn't be able to tell if a car was near the end of its engine's lifespan if we were to buy something in that price range. |
My mom's car is worth like 2k, lol. Yay for poor people cars.

Mom just had to get new tires, bearings, and ball joints on her car...cost over $2,000. I'm lucky, the highest bill I've ever had on a car (other than tires and brakes) was like $100. My cars have been really reliable, though my old car that I totaled in March was probably going to need some work soon with timing belt and stuff.

I meant not counting tires and brakes. Obviously they're expensive...although when I had brakes put on we had a family friend do it so it cost a lot less than going to the mechanic's shop. But yeah, tires are awful, and my car now has 16" tires (the old one had 15") so they're going to be more expensive.
