BloodRed posted:he must be including gas as he mentioned 'operate' even then, i got like 13 mpg and my gas cost was like 100 a month. I included that in my 2k a year thing. The sensor replacement was only like 150 a pop and oil changes are cheap. When expensive stuff started breaking like the air conditioning i just sold it. I guess maybe if you include loan payments it would be as much as he said, but that's a little disingenuous. Once you actually own a car the operating costs aren't nearly that much no matter what side things you lump in.

Own and operate probably means including the cost of the car too, but its real easy to spend less than 5-6k. Most americans drive cars they cant responsibly afford

Depends on where you live. I live a short walking distance from where I work and where I take classes, a grocery store, and a dozen bus routes around the area. Uber's always there when I need it for anything else

Yep, I commute 30 miles to work everyday (and park a mile away and walk in since parking is $110 a month). City where I live does not have public transit. gently caress, there aren't even sidewalks or pedestrian crossings at most stop lights. I wish I could take a bus or train but there isn't poo poo here.

I have a license and car but I let my registration expire about 5 years ago. I can easily get everywhere I need, but I specifically chose the house I live in because it's less than a 5 minute walk to shops, train station and bus stop. I doubt it's that easy for most people. I live in Brisbane, and Australia in general is pretty good for public transport. It also sounds like our suburbs are more self-contained, you generally don't have to go very far for day-to-day stuff.

The main thing I didn't like about living somewhere where I had to rely on public transportation is that my brain starts to malfunction when I'm in a crowded place with no easy exit. It's not exactly claustrophobia but kind of the same thing. I was in a packed tram to work one day in germany and a car accident meant we were stuck for a while and the doors couldn't open and I passed out. Nobody seemed to notice fortunately but with a car you don't have to worry about poo poo like that, you can just pull in to the next gas station or whatever whenever you need to.

Pitdragon posted:if you can get away with not driving where you live good god is it nice, and saves money, but then im one of those weirdos who isn't terrified of the other people on public transit What this dude said ^^^ I sold my awesome car (it was dying. RIP Ford Falcon 4.0) and now I walk everywhere and catch trains. You see more poo poo in detail when you're walking. Like don't get me wrong, I love driving, but I also love drinking and taking drugs. They are incompatible, we have Random Drug Testing. It takes me 10 mins to walk to the railway station and there's a train every ½ hour.

I once considered taking the bus to work to save a little money and do my part in reducing environmental whatever impact but realizing I was looking at a 1.5 hour bus ride one way to get where I needed to be vs a 20 minute car trip quickly laid to rest any notion that public transit was worth a poo poo in my city.

yeah I eat rear end posted:umm what? maybe if you're driving a ferrari. Even my beat to poo poo explorer where pretty much everything was broken and needed a new mass airflow sensor every couple months barely broke 2k a year to keep running/legal on the worst years. Idk take it up with AAA and the Bureau of Transportation it's their number It's based on average annual miles driven of 15k It's also obv an average. Still $2k a year isn't nothing.

lol but seriously I posted:that is 5 minutes at usual speed Yeah I'm not saying it's far but it would absolutely suck if I have to walk there at 3am to catch the only bus that would get me to work on time, assuming the bus is on schedule. Look I'm all for making public transit work in America, but it doesn't right now so unless you live right next to your job and a grocery store, not having a car is a massive inconvenience.

Skypie posted:the nearest bus stop to me is like a quarter mile walk The rest of your complaints make sense but this here is super weak, a qtr mile is like 7 min max even if you walk slowly (unless u have a legit disability or something (but ur a goon so likely just fat lol)) I got a job recently a mile from home and it's fuckin great, walk everyday. The office is also right next to a grocery store so I can shop on my way home. There's also a local dog park just off my commute so I can swing by to watch some pups play on my way home if I'm so inclined. Also a lot of good restaurants and bars on the way, and hopefully soon the smoke shops will start sellin legal weed so I'll have everything I need  The downside? Terrible Boston real estate prices. But I had to commute on terrible MA roads for years so gently caress ever doing that again.

Burt Sexual posted:Is a town only allowed one skank? No, but your'e only ever trying to impress the Ur-Skank. She's the one with the prime Skank powers, and may skank over a region for up to 30 years. Eventually her skanking powers start to wain, and the sub-skanks sense this and move in for the kill. There'll be a period of a few weeks where the regional skank situation is in flux, as great skank battles take place to determine who will the new skank primarch. Eventually it all settles down and the new hierarchy is established, and a coronation will take place where guys will rev their Trans-Ams to ring in their new Ur-Skank
