I have a license but I rarely drive.
We’ve been ordering groceries online.

My father mainly does the driving anyway.

Oh thank goodness you didn’t write a paragraph in Turkish. I use Google translator. I have an app on my phone but it only translates small portions of texts.

I’ve no driver’s license. I never had a car. I go on foot. Everything besides of legal guardian, depot and psychologist is near me. And I don’t need to take care for food.

In the 1990s when I lived in America I had Volvo too (Volvo 240 DL) and it always had radiator problems.

I had a plain Volvo 240. It was the best car I ever had, very little need for repairs, although it did use relatively much gas. I guess they are veteran cars now. Last one was made in 93 or 94.

Too bad you had trouble with yours.

Volvo 240 DL was okay (it was nearly 10 years old when I purchased it) , I drove it from 1992 to 1998, six years after which I got Mazda 626. I lived over two years in my Mazda 626 in America (2000-2002) and when I returned back to Europe I brought this Mazda with me together with all my other things such as one PC, clothes and so on.

I don’t like cars. We should all use public transport.

Save the planet…

Or walk…

I need a car for my volunteering. Can use public transport but it’s double the journey in time and it’s so much better with my own ride.

I havn’t had a car for a few years but I just borrow my dads van when I need to go somewhere. Yeah like someone else in the thread said. When you only go somewhere every few days its not worth the insurance costs.

I have my license, but no car.

I used to drive a lot in my twenties.

I don’t like driving now. Too stressful.

I live in a nice fairly urban area where everything is close by my apartment.

My mom helps me get to things far away like doctor’s appointments.

I don’t drive myself but there’s no viable public transportation in my area so I am pretty reliant on personal vehicles still, just with other people driving them, lol.
