Well that’s wonderful for you.

We couldn’get a license until we were 16. Where did you get yours at 15???

My brother and husband began working at around 9 years old when they could go into places and get a job without all the hassle of today. My husband bought his own car as well and paid it off. He also played sports, had 2 paper routes and worked those routes on weekedays and the weekends.

Walking a waste of time? Wow. Never heard that one before. Walking is great for everyone unless physically challenged of course. Cars are good but walking is healthy and clears the mind. Our town was small so we could walk wherever we wanted and did. When we did ride we could take my dad’s car or double with other people. Wasn’t a problem for us. Most people who had cars were happy to give others a ride as were we. Borrow cars that other people paid for? Who said anything about BORROWING CARS? Yipes. Yes, different strokes for different folks. No kidding.

You could get a hardship license at 15 in Texas.

Try walking across Houston and get back to me on the waste of time thing.

I enjoy walking in the woods and at the deer lease but not next to an 8 lane freeway with cars doing 70 or 80 in 100f heat with another 25 miles to go.

Only a real bonehead would not think that was a waste of time especially after the car was invented.
