What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?
Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?
MY Ford Escort died last week. I'm now borrowing my parents Subaru Forester until I have time to shop around for cars (I'm a tax preparer so they lent me the car until April)
Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?
Ima, you wouldnt get away wtih going 55 around here. THe road signs all say that, but when I go 65 I am being passed in all directions. Many times on highways, it's not safer to drive slower than the crowd.
Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?
That is why we never drive on interstates, even when we go on vacations. I can't stand to drive fast or ride with someone who does drive fast. We take the little back roads. It takes a lot longer to get there, but I am never in a hurry.
Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?
The roads I take to work are not interstates. They're parkways (2 lanes in each direction, exits like any other highway). They're too narrow to fly down but people do anyways.
I personally can't stand back roads and avoid them whenever possible. i had a college commute of all back roads, and I was always stuck behind a school bus, garbage truck, senior citizen, etc.
When you go on vacations it's different but I shouldnt have to leave an hour ahead of time for a 20 minute drive to school.

We live in the mountains, so the roads are pretty curvy. I was always patient with elderly drivers. We are all going to get old someday and how will we get around??
Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?
I think that there is also much more patience in North Georgia (looking at your location) than there is in NY. People in NY are ALWAYS in a rush.
I'm hoping that by the time I get old, I will still be able to maintain my speed as a courtesy to other drivers. I also have a feeling that by the time I get old (i'm 26 now) that I will have to take another road test to keep driving.
