[/QUOTE]I'm much younger than that.
Actually, the entire reasons why I don't have my license now are:
-Parents wouldn't let me have it around 16 because I was too irresponsible (H.S. is when I had time).
-As soon as I became older (like 18), I've been away at college and I've been very busy (rarely in my hometown, so no time to even practice).
-Due to all the new laws and regulations (especially dealing with illegal aliens and such), there's a problem with my birth certificate name and social security name not matching, so I have to get that fixed when I'm on a lengthy break.
-I can barely pass the vision test provided by the DMV (lol, I came very close to failing it when getting my permit).
Some may wonder how I get around. When I'm at home, I just have a family member take me somewhere (or just tag along, if I want to go somewhere). At college, I can take my bike to campus and some places (sidewalks are everywhere), take the bus (There's a bus that comes to my apartment complex every 30 minutes and goes to campus. Pretty much everyone takes it because parking on my campus sucks. As for other places, there are direct routes there), and sometimes walk.
I'm honestly more concerned about finishing college currently. Although it would suck getting a job somewhere far and have very little driving experience.
[quote name='Thongsy']Meh I kinda agree with TMK, it's not like driving a manual or auto is a life or death decision. Or it's going to impress anybody. Who does it matter to other than yourself. Unless you're some kind of racer or perfer it natually get an auto. And hopefully he meant it's hard enough because of all the stupid ass drivers on the road and driving a manual would be another thing to worry about, especially if the weather is bad and drivers always become worst when that happens.[/QUOTE]Yeah, it has nothing to do with getting the car to move that's hard, it's dealing with stupid drivers everywhere. The very fast time I drove out on a road, there was a guy riding my ass and I was going faster than the speed limit. I had to quickly turn-off into a neighborhood. I constantly see people not paying attention and doing other things, and my reaction time can be on the slow side. Especially where I live, people act like they've never driven on ice before, and everywhere you go, there is an accident (and we get snow/ice every year).
Well, I haven't tried parallel parking, which I have to learn before getting a license. I haven't tried driving at night, but I honestly can't due to difficulty seeing properly (my eyes are not good).
Yeah, I do recommend getting a Lancer over Civic though.
