Dick Fagballzson posted:This not having a license thing seems to be a hipster millenial thing. My generation you got it the day you turned 16 unless you were too dumb/too bad of a driver to pass the test. How do you even survive without one? The US doesn't have a functioning public transit system in most areas. Hipsters are loving faggots who wear tight pants and can't even drive. the days when you could afford to buy a car and keep it on the road working a few hours a week at a lovely min wage job are over for the most part and a lot of colleges won't let you take a car as a freshman, so unless your parents are rich and/or generous enough to give you a car there's not much point

I also have both, and I drive a standard and I know why Euro stoplights turn yellow before they turn green. I'm just cheesed that Audi doesn't put manual transmissions into their U.S. Spec cars.

Although I'm seriously biased by the fact that the only vehicles with manual transmissions I've ever driven have been from the 1920-40s, serious the automatic transmission is the greatest thing ever. gently caress having your car stall because you refused to put a labor-saving device in an even larger labor-saving device.

If you're stalling your car after maybe the first couple weeks of you first learning how to drive a standard then you probably shouldn't be driving in the first place, even with an automatic.

Public transit in the US is for people with a high tolerance for smelly people. Driving is where it's at. You are only a manbaby is your parents still pay your insurance. Also, manuals are for special snowflakes who think that they are better than other people but in reality are too poor for modern technology.

How much does it cost to get your license in the us? Here in Norway people typically spend something like $5000 altogether with all the mandatory classes and lessons and stuff.

rear end cobra posted:How much does it cost to get your license in the us? , like $300.00. Maybe. If you take a formal Drivers Ed course in high school or something. If you don't, then usually just $15.00 for the learner's permit and another $25 for the license. There is no mandatory formal education, it's "study the manual, pass the test". American Drivers Suck, by the way.

Don't need a license to drive a car unless you're a total pussy like the OP. Actually I drive a manual and it's really not useful at all. Next car will be automatic.

even the prius now is starting to be advertized with "sporty" options gently caress off, if i wanted anything but efficiency and utility i wouldn't be looking at a loving prius you morons. oh lets take that smooth quiet ride and jam a loving sway bar and lowering springs on it to make sure the ride becomes loud and bumpy, that sounds like an excellent $4000 upgrade

Dangit Ronpaul posted:where are you from that a 16yo can get insured for $50 a month and you can buy a car for $2000 that doesn't need regular repairs to keep it running? if they have a good driving history $50 or less isn't unreasonable to insure a shitbox on their parents insurance. craigslist is an endless well of good running $1000-2000 ish cars if you have patience and know how to spot a good car. i had plenty of shitboxes as a teenager which i mercilessly ran into the ground with bare minimum maintaience and most of them survived at least 40-60,000 miles of neglect before i ran them into the scrapyard. hell you can actually get some really good cars for under $2000 if you look.
