>tfw too poor to own a car

dude you literally can get a decent condition shitbox car for $1500 around me (Eastern US) you have no excuse, check your discretionary spending and save it faggot

>>16670498
that doesn't take into account insurance which can be several grand for a new driver, tax and MOT

>>16670540
You working or training?

personal development first, then hobbies anon

don't listen to what anyone else says, money is the key to happiness and makes life way better

focus on a career path that will provide you the means to fund your hobbies. Until then, work hard and live modestly.

>>16670794
Or you can always kill yourself :-)

>>16670794
^^^^ this, although take into account you do need to have a proper mindset to be happy.

Also OP, being born poor is better, everything will be new to you if you set goals and work diligently.
Everything you buy will be WOW.

Being born into riches means those ppl never truly know what they have or appreciate it.

So be happy, you have an opportunity there.

Only thing that can fuck you up is if you are women dependent - if you feel you need a woman to give your life meaning.
Many successful people blow their brains after divorce etc. when they see their spouse is not the queen they thought.

So focus on yourself, work smart, and dont compare with others. Write your own story.

>>16670498
The $1500 shitbox will break down and for a new driver, it's probably not a good idea to buy a car he's going to have to work on all the time as a first vehicle. If you want a reliable vehicle you need to find a low mileage Honda/Toyota for around $5k-6k.

>>16670540
In Ontario it's very expensive. It can be upwards of $300 if you have a popular car (ie, Honda Civic).

I recommend getting a Ford Crown Victoria. They're reliable, fast, and cheap. You should get a retired police interceptor with the lowest mileage possible. Insurance shouldn't be too bad for this if you don't get collision.

Civic for 3k?

Stop being an autist and assuming any job, "is too beneath you."

>>16671085
Yeah it's 5th. Mirrors are aftermarket Spoon style.

>>16671091
Fucking awesome. How much did you pay? i've been on the lookout for a 5th gen hatchback for fuckin weeks. 5th gen civics are my jam.

OP you can get a used 90's Buick for $1000 or less. LeSabre, Park Ave, any that have the glorious GM3800 engine.

I owned one. 92 LeSabre. Thing accelerates like nothing else. Pure power. So comfy inside. And the best part is that you can find many with low miles. Heck, I was the 6th owner on mine when I bought it with 79k miles.

Good luck to you my friend.

Got it for $1300, but it had nine recorded owners, dented rear quarters, but a real good running D16A swap. I've been fixing it up mechanically for a while and learning as I go. Just a few things left and I can just focus on cosmetic stuff.

That car is responsible for me meeting a lot of cool people so no regrets.

That pic was the day I got it and here it is now.

>>16670962
>$1.5k shitbox is bad for new driver

Not true, completely depends on the car. That'll net you a fine mid 90s Le Sabre or Camry or Grand Marquis or various other cars.

Also just save harder desu, look for a better job or just work more in general. If you have parents, ask them to help you out/strike a deal.

I felt just like you OP. At a certain point I didn't even wanna ride around in any of my friend's cars because it sucked so bad realizing I couldn't just drive wherever I wanted. Just save your money and look around bro.

You can literally find a shitbox here in Australia for like $500. If you're too poor to afford $500 for a fucking car, then you're too poor to live.

And remember, as long as it has 4 wheels and gets you from point A to point B, then it's all you need.

Shingu makes like 16 bucks an hour and money on tips, iirc. Full time pizza delivery apparently pays pretty well.

not necessarily, i think it counts as a fee, since its technically not mandatory.
it's essentially what you have to pay when you want to get a license plate.

it gets MUCH better when you're older in the UK at least
my dad and I were looking at insurance prices for cars because my mum was looking at getting a new twingo. For both of my parents on a new Twingo, it's £250. For a new RS7, it was something like £350.

To add me as a driver on the Twingo, it was £650. To add me as a driver on the RS7 was impossible and we weren't getting any results on a price comparison website.

Assuming they'll even insure you anymore. Some companies like Liberty Mutual won't insure me because I got a driving while suspended several years ago.

depends where you live
any points or temporary bans that you get for speeding stay on your licence for 5 years (so if you get 12 points in the space for 5 years you get your licence revoked), but insurers get to see it for up to 12 years which is stupid

90's shitbox cars starts with 5000$ here, also average salary is 350$. Most cars newer then 2010 is starts with 25000$, also fuel is 3$ per liter, remember, average salary is around 350-600$ per month.

Long story short, just fucking kill me.
