I got Chrono Trigger for my SNES. Cool, but nothing compared to a car.
I wish I was spoiled like that when I was 16. Too bad some people actually have to work for what they get instead of having it handed to them by parents!
>>> I heard from a friend that in US and Canada everybody has a car, is that true??
It seems to be pretty much so in Canada.Quote:

>>> So it was true :cool:, how much do you pay for a new car there, I guess it must be cheap..
I didn't start driving at 16...I waited to get my license until I turned 17 (due to me being lazy about taking drivers education/training)
My first car I bought for dirt cheap...a 1983 Honda civic...it died eventually.
My second car was a 1984 Honda accord (w00t) it has died...but we still have it.
My third and current car is a 1997 Saturn SL2 and I :love: it.
I bought all 3 of my cars (my parents paid for half of the second one)

I don't think that you could get anything new for under $15,000 Canadian, and that would be for something like a Chevy Cavalier, which is just your basic car.

I agree. I have never had my own car, but my parents let me use theirs pretty much when ever I want, so I'm lucky that way. It's a 2003 Corolla LE, which is pretty nice, and they are gonna be buying a 2005 Mazda 6 sport really soon :DQuote:

(I've but maybe $3000 into it) and my saturn was $3500 and is a 1999. BUt I kind of traded my blazer for it and he got brand new tires out of it.Quote:

poser eh...
I got a pair of Shoebarus when I turned 16.
Fortunately, I did better with time. I've got a 2000 Toyota RAV-4 now.
blazers are cool:D
[un]luckily car values depreciate rapidly. which means you can spend a lot less buying an 'almost new' car. even the ones only a year or two old are thousands of dollars cheaper in a lot of cases. New ones however are no lower than $12000, like whoever said such but in canadian currency:) Wait two years, however, and that practically halves@.@;
Yeah I'm scared to drive, myself. But it makes life so much simpler.Quote:

(I will admit that my parents are awesome though.)
This reminds me of the red pontiac that's been sitting in front of this daycare for sale for like a year. It used to have a $1000 sign posted in the front window, but it's fallen off. I've only ever seen one person looking at it. Which is a pity, because it's really pretty when the sun is right:) otherwise it's dead ugly.
They also had a blue pontiac there next to it. It was there for about a week.
