£200 for a bus pass here, unlimited travel from September -> July.

What I hate the most about public transport is that it takes you ~1hour or more to get somewhere that would take you 30minutes or less in your own car

During peak service it only takes me about 30-35 minutes to get to campus, which is about how long it would take by car. I've driven there in 20 minutes before but there was no traffic and I hit every green light.

Busses in Denmark stop EVERYWHERE, and thanks to me living in a remote area, they take lots and lots of detours aswell

When I went to school 25km away a few years ago it would take 15-20 minutes by car or 45 minutes by bus...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

Oh, you're living the high life.

What takes 20-25 minutes by car over here, takes an hour ten with bus. Plus, you have to change bus/taxi (yes, a taxi ride is included in the ticket) two or three times along the way. Additionally, you're getting into town at 7:30, and you're leaving at 16:05.

Quit at 16:30?

DEAL WITH IT.

Yeah, like I said above, I hate public transport with a passion

It was time to upgrade, the old ones value would've dropped too much in the next year.

Finally I have some pictures of it, got around to taking the thing to the car wash.

I had a 1.6l one of those as a rental last year, nice little car, after the crap wagons I'm used to, having cruise control and hill start assist toys to play with was a novelty.  Yours got that weird electronic parking brake?  I like the idea but dread to think what would happen if the electrics failed lol.


V My car as of just before Christmas, my Cougar was disintegrating at an alarming rate (damn yank built cars ) so I ditched it before it needed a MOT.

Current Gasoline Price as of 9/21/05 6:00PM   $2.47

*sigh* Oh the days of affordable gasoline... lol..

I don't have anything nearly as cool as most of the people in this thread. I have a 2002 Chevy Impala... It is paid off and gets 24 miles to the gallon... I only have to fill it up every payday (2 weeks). Sometimes every 3. I think the hail damage makes it more aerodynamic, like a golf ball. It is still under its extended aftermarket warranty, so the head gaskets and transmission were replaced for nearly free (I had to pay tax and fluids). Everything is running like new on it now. I put in a nice stereo, and enjoy my drives to and from work.

My Car History:

1986 Jeep Comanche Pickup (Dang near indestructible). ($2,000) Sold out from under me by my dad (co-owner) to get me something more dependable... It is still driving to this day and I sometimes see it out in their small town. Sold for $4,000.

1994 Ford Taurus. ($4,000) Had transmission issues early on. Sold it to buy my next car. Sold it for $4,000.

1991 Chevy Caprice Limited Edition. (Family deal, $6,000) Number 22 of only 101 made. Corvette Engine. Nice car. I loved it. I got hit by a helicopter in it. I fixed it. Then, it was totaled when a semi carrying cars for the car lot jack-knifed and slid through the stop sign where I was sitting.

1999 Ford Taurus. ($5,800) 24V DOHC. Transmission started having issues right away. Got ripped off by the transmission place and it made me resent the car, so I sold it. ($5,800).

Current Chevy Impala. ($4,000)

We have also owned (Wife's Cars):

1997 Chevy Malibu. (Free) This was given to her as a gift by her parents when she graduated college. They decided they couldn't afford it a couple years later, and repossessed it from her. (They gave us the option to take over the payments, but they had gotten ripped off and were paying about 3 times what it was worth, so we couldn't afford it either.)

1988 Buick Roadmaster. ($1,800) Was a cheap, temporary (yet really luxurious for being a boat) car after we lost the Malibu.

2005 Dodge Caravan. ($10,000) 31 days after we bought it, the transmission literally exploded. We fixed it under warranty. Less than a year later, (and less than a month after having it serviced, checked, tune up, oil change, etc) we went on a family vacation where, while in the middle of nowhere Arkansas, it suddenly threw a rod through the engine block, causing it to instantly drain all of its oil. Within 30 seconds (the amount of time it took to pull over) The engine had totally seized up. Sold it to a salvage yard for what we owed on it. ($2,800)

1999 Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer Edition. ($1,800) Had to replace the fuel line ($400) and the Master Cylinder ($100). Paid off and running great...

So yeah, our car luck has not been awesome... But I got great deals on all of them except the Dodge... With no car payments though, and cars that are running great, I guess I can wait a while to buy my Synergy Green Metallic Chevy Camaro... lol

its a pretty awesome car. Its the one i enjoy driving the most.
Too bad its so overpriced, especially stock version. You get a standard hatchback for double the price.
