Do you drive a car

Automatic Is one with a gear shift difficult to drive Courtney Petrol, that's good. You have been driving a long time

@Ineeddentures automatic is easy, it's manual that's a pain. Only time I drove one of those was drivers Ed Gas is expensive though Yes I have...so long

@MommyOfEli2013 Petrol is expensive every where Courtney except Iran

The MX 5 is a really good car You might not remember the Mazda 323F I had the sports version of it. It was a good car

@Ineeddentures no way am I driving in this traffic and with these petrol prices.

Good choice ai think Once I am too to drive a motorcycle I won't be having another car Petrol prices and insurance too expensive

@allen0187 I don't blame you The bike is not so bad 100 mpg on a good day

@Ineeddentures - I was never interested to drive, but now I regret not having a driver license.

Yvonne says exactly the same as you Anna She never wanted to drive at all

@LadyDuck I hope Yvonne never has the same regret I did try to encourage her and tried to teach her But maybe the Jaguar was the wrong car lol

I was standing outside showering in the rain Judy Saves money. And one gets a good rinse It's a local custom here In a downpour. We used to come here from Montrose in the 60,s to witness them spectacle of Brechiners using the rain to wash. Jaguar used to be good cars. I had an 1986 XJ6 2.9 Manual. British Racing Green Which model of Jaguar do you have

@Ineeddentures The Jag is a 2015 model. I think it is an XJ6. Are you kidding me about people showering in the rain? I don't believe it for a minute.

@JudyEv True Showering in the rain The cost of living crisis in 1965 was the first time it happened So ever since then when the rain is a bad downpour , people stand out in the rain getting soaked to the skin and basically are showering. I use a nice shower gel and keep shorts on, Got to be quick in case the rain stops suddenly and one doesn't get rinsed properly

Bike and walk That's really healthy. I used to bike and walk too We haven't owned a car in 15 years. It's been motorbikes now since 2011

@Ineeddentures not something fancy, Mio Jupiter.

Which motorbike do you have?

@May2k8 is that a 125cc

@Ineeddentures Yes, VW are well known for standing the test of time. Ours has all of the bells and whistles, heated steering wheel and leather seats, fold in sideview mirrors, 2 sets of floor mats that came with it, one for winter and one for summer. We both like the new Tiguans, but my husband thinks that since they have adjusted their size and aren't as wide, they may not have as good a ride, and is considering going up to the Atlas. The only downfall that we know of with our lovely SUV is that an oil change is about 3 times higher than a domestic vehicle would cost. The replacement windshield wipers were costly too, but we got Bosch, which are superior.

@Juliaacv I think you need to expect parts and maintenance.to be more expensive But well worth it Julia

The Tiguan is an awesome car Most VW are. We had a VW Vento 1.9 Turbo Diesel a lot of years ago 250k miles it did before one day it wouldn't go any more. 35C per litre cheaper is really good That's almost 140 cents cheaper per gallon Hybrid is sensible, more so than only electric

@Ineeddentures They are not here. Most times when you hear of a car and bike crash the car is at fault

@wolfgirl569 Aye A bike has no chance against a car in a crash And here they are very lenient on car drivers who kill bikers

That surprises me I mean people here are mostly very considerate of motorbike riders. Tis too cold for a bike when it gets below 5C

@Ineeddentures I'm the queen. Grab car is an app here, you can book a car. Like a service car without the need for hailing taxi and you know the fixed fare price upon booking. Yes, we have millions of motorcycles here. Tricycles as well.

Perhaps safer that hubby drives the car Raquel No I am only joking What is a grab car? No idea at all about motor tricycles there? Several million maybe?

@rakski Aye, motorbikes are best lol And you are the queen

@Ineeddentures I'm starting to have some transmission issues, but she's still driving fine right now for the most part.

@moffittjc Hope it doesn't need a new gearbox

Probably be good for a long time yet Jeff That's what happens when we look after things properly

@Ineeddentures Thank you for your concern.

Sorry you got ill George.

@Ineeddentures There are a lot of crazy drivers everywhere in the US.

@LindaOHio I think it's everywhere Linda But thankfully there are more who are sensible

Are the roads dangerous in Ohio Linda

@Ineeddentures Right now, diesel is roughly a dollar a gallon more than regular gasoline.

@porwest Aye but worth the extra if you get more mpg worth more than a dollar if you know what I mean

You have come aong way since the first Ford Fiesta A great car. I had one as well The F 250 will be a grand machine Diesel, delivers more miles to the gallon Is diesel expensive there?

I have driven a Kia Rio and a Kia Pride Decent cars I suspect your milage will increase more and more Grandchildren do that lol

Sorry about the advancing anxiety.. Driving a car is expensive right enough

Motorbikes rule but so do Skoda's Especially an old fall to bits Favorit like we had. 7 seats is good, a good vehicle for adventures. Diesel , good mpg What's not to like Children , no thanks or furniture But I maybe would carry a wee.dog in a basket on the front of my wee suzuki

When you drive a car It's like you are in a cinema watching a film When you drive a motorcycle You are the star of the film

So please do tell me all about the car that you drive please

I hope that you do take the driving course some day You could also drive a motorcycle
