They buy used cars. duh.
Anoreth has a car, but she’s not married and lives in base housing. It’s a sensible but reasonably sporty black Neon, from the same used-car lot where we bought “The Grape,” the purple Tracer she learned to drive in. The Grape is on its third teen driver, and holding up well.
Buying a new car, in most cases, is not the smartest choice ... although I guess someone has to, or there wouldn’t be used cars!
Some of them are hoping Obama will give them one!
My nephews (23 and 24) both live with mommy, neither of them have drivers licenses, the combined total of time working between them their entire lives is less than 6 months. They both party non-stop (where do they get the money), and the younger one is covered head to toe with tattoos (again where does the money come from?...my sister and her husband are poor).
I don’t understand the mindset, I counted the days till I turned 16 and could get my drivers license, had even worked and bought my own car in preparation. I was out of the house after I turned 18. It is weird, I do not believe one can mature (maturing does not preclude acting like an idiot when appropriate), until one is on his own. When I read the endless facebook posts of the 24 year old (apparantly he has nothing else to do all day), I can not distinguish his posts from one I would expect of a 14 year old.
Many of the most affordable used cars were destroyed during the ludicrous "Cash for Clunkers" program.
