      No. In reality, they seem to make large purchases into virtually nothing, but they're still large purchases.

          I don't care if you think my date is an uggy, a fatty, Chris Hansen, a blow up doll, an old lady, etc. The real point of this thread was to get some driving advice. I wouldn't even post my own picture on here.

            How old are you Riesstiu? I'm not trying to be nosy, I just had a hard time taking the thread question seriously...

              I'm 22 but since I'm sure a lot of you are curious about why I'm so nervous, I'll tell a little more. In my senior year of high school while out with a friend we got into a pretty serious accident. My friend was driving while I was in the passenger seat and a drunk driver went past a red light and T-boned our car at an intersection. Nobody was killed but my friend had his left arm broken.

              Well, that accident shook me up pretty bad and ever since then I have a fear of traveling in unknown areas and at high speeds with many other cars nearby. I avoid driving myself whenever I can. I went to a small college town where I had to drive only once in a while but now that I'm back in the city, I have to get over this fear.

              Even though I've never been in an accident myself, it's a bit jarring to be in control of a power fast moving machine with many others nearby in the same situation.

                That makes sense to me. I was in an accident about a month ago and I am more nervous driving now than I was two months ago.

                Fortunately my accident was not too serious so I'm sure it will pass.

                I wasn't trying to be a goof about something you were seriously concerned about. I really did think you were trying to yank our chains a bit.

                Stay sober, have good directions and pay attention. You'll do fine.

                  drive defensively look for people who aren't slowing down at stop signs/lights. look for people who are going to pull out in front of you etc.

                    So if it were April you'd divide by 29

                        Be careful what music you listen to when driving at night. Once I heard this on the radio and at the end I was going 180 (well, if I had been able to see the video I'll probably had crashed )

                          Let's go back to the GPS discussion and time payments.
                          A) It's not just the principle, there's also compounded interest.
                          B) Save up and pay cash. Put your payment money away and buy it outright.
                          Don't say it, let me guess. No instant gratafication.
                          Well ain't that too bad. Boo****inghoo.

                            Made it there in back in one piece without the aid of a $700 GPS system. Getting there was a bit nerve racking as there was a lot more traffic then I expected but driving back was actually kind of relaxing. I only saw maybe two or three other cars and I was able to drive fairly relaxed. Guess not too many people are out on a 1:00 am Tuesday. Didn't miss a single turn.

                              don't ease up too much with less traffic, that's how people fall asleep. . I never fall asleep while driving, so not a concern for me. And if it's a highway with side roads, you have to be cautious no one is going to run that stop sign.

                              But really experience is all you need.
