Besides, if I need a car for something, there are usually plenty of rent-a-car services (I've mostly used Zipcar so far IIRC).

EDIT: LOL, I'm dumb, sorry reincarnate. I read that as "never buying a new car", my bad.

Maintenance, gas, insurance, parking costs are things people always seem to forget.

Zip car is great, but I pretty much just use enterprise for the three times I've used a car the entire 3 years I've been here. Works fine for me

Ahh just noticed SF -- that's the other thing about living in big cities: Even if there were a good reason to use cars, it'd still be expensive as shit because rent is already eating everything up to begin with, lol.

I'm assuming this is in reference to buying a car in general as opposed to discussing the new vs used concept. You have to realize that public transportation is not the same everywhere.

I admit I've moved so I'm a lot closer to the university (it'd only be a 50 minute walk) but it comes at the expense of having to wake up earlier. Perhaps I could bike...idk.

why would u buy a mustang when you can get a camaro

[DigitalS3r4ph]

I've been in plenty of arguments regarding the Mustang vs Camaro debate, but in short, the Mustang smokes the Camaro.

I absolutely need a car. I live 10 hours away from my family/BF, and I can't afford a 700 dollar flight every time I wanna go home.

This. :P

Actually fuck that. Get a dodge challenger... -drools-

[Cavernio]

A car in Fredericton = almost necessary
A car in Toronto = almost ludicrous

[Snowcrafta]

If I ever bought a car, I'd hire a driver. I seriously feel weird sitting up front in cars now, the back seat is where it's at.
