One thing that makes me laugh is that if a person owns a duel fuel car (gas and petrol - it's only petrol cars that have to pay, which is like 99.9% of us!) they can drive thru London free... EVEN IF THEY CHOOSE TO USE THE PETROL OPTION WHEN DRIVING THRU!!!! So the congestion charge isn't for "environmental reasons"... All it is is another way to tax us motorists, if they REALLY wanted to stop traffic in London, they'd charge £25...
(To our US cousins, by "gas" I don't mean petrol... ;D )
Aaaargh!!!
For environmental reasons, I'd LOVE to use public transport, but it's CRAP, unsafe (I'm convinced of this!), uncomfortable and unreliable!!!
So I think I'll be buying the horse...

Oooooh and it was friggin expensive!!! Need a new serpentine belt....$500!! Oil change? $50!! (cuz of a special cartridge filter it needed), and lemme tell yah,...it was great when the window fell into the door when i was on I-495. Consumer Reports can go straight to hell!

My Oldsmobile is aging badly these days. I would LOVE to get another Olds but if there is a way I can afford the Caddie Devile from 1994 that is priced way too cheap but where I like it, I might gain a whole nother foot on my current car and maybe a cd player/tape deck for MY music and NOT KKCK..Yeah my car is 18 feet long thank you very much but she gets about 27 miles to the gallon. I LOVE Olds Royales!! RFW

I dont' have my own car, but I 'borrow' my mom's so much that I basically have it when I need it. I live far enough from school and work that Ineed it to go ANYWHERE so it's cool.
Driving is NOT a chore. it is SO much fun when you can just be driving in the middle of nowhere and punch it from 60 to 120.... hoo boy..... *is it getting hot in here*
But when I finally get enough $$ to get my own car, I'd like to lease an Acura CL-S.... now those are *nice*
