scared about the number or the fact youre driving a car soon?

both.

you'll be scared and it will be hard to see yourself driving in the future like an adult, but it just kinda works out. After the first few weeks of actual driving it just becomes second nature and possibly something you look forward too...

Car = Freedom

I mean, an even better investment would be the SL, but that's like 11k.. I mean, if you want, here's the link.

you're joking with these expensive ass bikes right lol

 

[Tusk]

nope, theyre great. electric (Di2) groupset, aero af, carbon, tubeless tyres, and so much more.

For 6 grand bro you can easily get a modern used car in great condition... hell even a third of that will get a decent car with tons of extra money for gas/insurance/driving school costs/dmv costs left over. Not everyone can just bike around town to do everything they need.

Sure you can. Average 45km/h and you'll be going have the speed of a car, on anew bike, which is less than the cost of a new car.

haha yeah no, I'm sorry but you don't know what you're talking about. Also 30mph is VERY SLOW for a car...

I don't see any reason why someone would spend 6 to 12 thousand dollars on a fucking bicycle when they can easily get a very good used car for less (in the case where they wanna learn how to drive). I'm sure some areas could benefit having a bike over a car but Jesus Christ dude 6k for a bike?

which is less than the cost of a new car.

Well no shit, but guess what, no one needs a brand new car... especially if you're 15-16 and learning how to drive.

Or you can get a Canyon, cost about 10k, but they're fuking sexy.

So you have a bike fetish? That's hot

Having a car gets you hoes. Facts.

Can't vouch for that, sadly.

Don't be concerned in getting a new car. Whether you get an old car, or a brand new one, just know that you at least have one and can get to places more conveniently than walking, or taking a bus, etc.

The only time you should feel concerned is if you're in a highway really. Shit always goes down in a highway (Where I live at least) and crowded areas (Though where I live it's not as crowded, not sure about you).

Honestly, I say you have another 2 years until you even touch a car, so for now, why not visit any place where u can drive things such as golf carts, or mules (The vehicle)? Those can somewhat resemble an actual vehicle and give you the basic understanding of driving an actual car.

I’ll probably get teased for this but I didn’t learn how to drive until I was 20! Cars are intimidating but life is much more useful and safe with one! Yes accidents can be scary, but as long as you’re alert and focused on, yanno, driving, you will be okay! Practice really does make perfect. Even driving uptown to get a snack from the gas station can help ease your fears. Be confident! I believe in you!!
