@Choco: CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING STREET LEGAL!
Here are a few tips that I've learned since getting my own car.

Get a car that you will love, one that speaks to you on an emotional level even if it looks ridiculous



If possible, make sure you label yourself as a new driver so people know


You love the car, you will probably wash it every week or two! I wash mine every sunday if the weather is nice!


Make sure you learn the insides and outs of your car! Brakes are very easy to replace on your own so you can save a lot of money doing maintenance yourself!





Make sure you have fun in your car! Driving shouldn't be frustrating but fun, so pick the car you feel best in!

@kraus: danke. though there are a few problems with your statement:
1. not expecting to get a car until several years (closer to a decade in my understanding of it); if i get one any sooner than 4 years out i will be VERY surprised
2. the car i want is older than all of us put together
3. going to be sort of frustrating at first considering this means i will automatically be driving a stick without central heating/air of some kind, not to mention the process of FINDING it
4. likely going to start off with a moped with chained tires in the winter (and possibly a sidecar)

You won't necessarily drive with a stick, depending on who rebuilds it. With mom's '37 Pontiac, dad's using the engine and automatic transmission from an '85 Pontiac to power it -w-

i don't have the money to transplant anything outside of seatbelts and a newer radio. (but i hope that i can keep it looking old.)

@choco: Well good luck to you, if you need help with maintenance down the road with anything I'd be happy to drive up and help you out :D
Also, if its a car from Japan I can help you get it imported for a reasonable price. People don't realize they can import cars from Japan quite cheaply and easily.

@kraus: something 40's. 46 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan 4-door was my original choice but a Pontiac Chieftain or similar-looking car wouldn't be a bad choice.

I wish this game would get a full-color remake on 3DS

Chocofreak13

how do you even PLAY something that extensive on the virtual boy...?

Indeed. A great game, but ill-suited for the system it was released on even if it was notably shorter than the rest of the Wario Land series :\

Chocofreak13

ahh, so it was shorter. tbh i figured but the virtual boy only really lended itself to short-span games like tennis and golf. :\

you know, i'm surprised they never made a Mario Bowling. that seems like a sport he could get behind. :0
