Man, everybody try and slow down a little bit out there
Don Seer:
drunks are like that.. if you ever have the misfortune to know a "proper" drunk you'll learn how they'll lie, cheat, hide and steal to get a drink.. ultimately if they don't learn they will lose everything from wifes, homes, jobs and even lose respect from their own children..
Trauma-san:
Drunks are horrible. Worse than Drug Addicts.
The absolute worst addiction, though, trust me... is gambling. A gambler not only can do all the dangerous and self destructive damage to himself and his family and his relationships, but can also ruin his/her life and everyone elses around him financially. It's scary. My mother's a gambling addict, but she's toned it down a little. I've got a friend who's dad was a gambler, he lost their house, lost their marriage, filed bankruptcy, his kids hate him... etc.
Don Rizzle, we have our cars checked every year for safety as well. Also you're talking about all these nice newer cars people are driving 100 mph, I've never been one to buy a new car, all of mine are old. If I was to spend several thousand dollars mine could handle 100 mph pretty capably too, but that's not really something I'm interested in... I always thought of cars as a status symbol, and I don't need status symbols. I'd rather have the money in the bank tallying up than sitting in my driveway depreciating.
I've had several decent cars though that I could drive as fast as I wanted I guess... I had a '82 Datsun 280ZX Turbo that was fast as shit, I bought some nice Pirelli tires for it and it handled great. Just a little thing though, it was so fun. I also have a '69 Mustang that's a beast, they're extremely fast but the suspension and the brakes aren't at a point where I'd feel comfortable flying in.

i just got my Learners since im 16, and im glad that drivers in Canada are pretty gentle through my knowledge & experience
Don Rizzle:
don't get me wrong i'm the same as you i don't see the point in paying out thousands on something that is garenteed to lose its value, I baught my first 2 cars for under 600 pounds and my current car is a honda civic which cost me 1.5k when i baught it and they were all about 10 years old at the time of purchase.
Don Seer:
^ yeah true... if u buy new u gotta keep new and sell regularly to stop losing lots..
i got the car i have now coz i wanna keep it for a long time while I save for a house
as for the safety test.. i guess it varies from state to state (like i know cali is nuts on emissions etc) but our testing is very strict.. they're thorough.. its a 40 minute rigourous test including emissions, brake, tyres, head/side lights, indicators, safety belts... and structural integrity (rust).. and its getting stricter every year
