I'm not you.....And for the record, Sorce lives at home as well, but I don't make it a point to bring it up because she doesn't make it her life's work to pretend she's better than everyone else.

There's always public transportation and transportation services like Uber and Lyft. Some girls only make a big deal out of it because they got their pretty little heads all caught up in silly things. 

I like having three girls dancing in my Mustang GT Convertible as I blast down Roosevelt Blvd...

 

Transport just isn't fun like that.

Technically, nobody in the U.S. actually owns a car.  They just pay rent to the insurance companies for the privilege of driving one.  You don't believe that?  Try driving without insurance.

xD

What's next? Semantics? There's no reason why an able-bodied able-minded grown-ass man should not have a car in this country unless he lives in a place like NYC. Period.

I dunno... 

Look where I'm at.  Supermarkets, three in walking distance.  Job, twenty minutes walk.  Doctors, they crowd almost every block.  Philadelphia, train ride.  New York, there in less than three hours.  Banks, three blocks away.  Dance clubs, movies, clothing stores, and even a giant slingshot ride... all very close by.

It's not like I'm still in California, where everything that's worth reaching involves sitting in a five hour long traffic jam.

Well, you got me beat there. I kind of like the convenience of places like that, but at the same time a car just seems to give you more freedom.

by this logic my father taught me you never own a house either because you have to pay taxes on it or the govt seizes it

Right.  What is needed is a much more equitable approach to funding government other than charging rent for property that is otherwise bought and paid for.

I have owned 19 cars. Title in my name. I bought and paid for, then later sold most of them and made money on them. The insurance did not own it. Your logic is incorrect.

I have friends who are now married and own their own house in northeast philly. They too can walk to stores and such.

 

Do they? No. They have two Jeeps and a Focus, and they use 'em. The jobs they have pay well, because they had cars to travel to said well-paying jobs. Everything else kind of just fell into place.

Fuck no, I have never ever driven (or rode my streetbike for that matter) without insurance. My shit was always registered and insured (I will not disclose what I did for inspection). I always had jobs that paid well enough for me to be able to flip cars on the side. Plus I have that place by the Delaware beaches. Of course this year I eliminated the $2300 lot rent by invading the 2 acre yard my folks got when they bought their second house not 2 mins from where my place was. xD

packards point is that you dont own them because you have to pay to continue to drive them.  it doesnt matter if u can afford it

If the title is in your name, you own it.

 

I have to continue to pay for the Mustang I own... $1300 tires, $60 every oil change, etc etc. i still own it.

 

That's like saying you don't own you because you have to keep paying for food.

paying upkeep is not that same as paying some arbitrary figure to authorities so they dont arrest you!

 

you dont go to jail if you dont change your oil

Insurance isn't the same necessity as food.  Gov will still confiscate an uninsured car, though.  It's not yours to keep until you feed the insurance brokers.

Currently my Mustang is sitting in the driveway uninsured and unregistered because I have the front end and interior apart as I work on it. No point in paying for classic car insurance if I am not driving it.

Nobody is threatening to come take it from me. by law, they can't. If I were to drive it then yes, they would have it towed and I'd have to either have someone else tow it back to my house after I paid storage fees, or insure it and show them proof of insurance before I could drive it away.

 

The government literally can not keep YOUR car if YOU own it AKA have the title in YOUR name, if it's not insured... unless it is proven that it was bought with illegal monies.
