Do you work for a company or are you an independent? One day people will no longer need cars.

Everyone keeps making me feel guilty by saying 'oh i've never had a brand new car' and it just makes me feel like saying... well work your arse off and maybe you too could afford it!

I mean just cause i'm on P plates doesn't mean i'm gonna smash is to smitherines...

I've already been driving for over 2 years on my p's, and had 2 years and over 500 hours practice on my learners...


sorry just really needed to vent...
I think when people see a P plater in a new car, they think "spoiled brat - mummy and daddy bought it for them".

If you worked for it and that was what you wanted, then good on you.

Personally, I've never had a new car and have no desire to buy one. The moment you drive a new car off the lot, you wipe off a large chunk of it's value. To me, a car is something to get you from point A to point B. It's a consumable item like a TV or washing machine that you're going to have to replace eventually. I'd rather buy a good quality 2nd hand car, look after it for 5-6 years then junk it and do it again. I'm currently on my 6th car in 25 years, one of which I gave to my ex wife. Current one is a VS commodore which I paid $6500 cash for.Don't have to worry about comprehensive insurance, the occasional scratch or ding in the supermarket car park or anything.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

If i had found something i was happy with as a 2nd hand car, i sure would have got it, but i really couldn't find anything that was a decent price for its age, had enough room, could do everything i wanted it to do, and had decent safety...

But hey, each to their own...

That really is terrible.

Puts a few things in perspective, I suppose.

Hope things work out for her.
