Do you have a license and no car?

If no car, why?

I don't mainly cuz I can't make up my mind right now.

So many cars, so little money :(

I have both a license and a car; I'm 20. A friend of mine has neither, he's 19.

My mom has never gotten a license or a car, and she's 44. :Q

Ok, I'll admit it...

I have a car, but no license.

Yes, I take public transportation.

Edit: Oh, and I'm almost 24. :eek:

Since my Oregon ID expires in April, I'm going to have to get my license then. My girlfriend is also going to be getting her permit/license, so it's nice that it all coincides.

I have no car, and I have no license.

I'm 14--in California I cannot get a learner's permit until I am 15 1/2. I will inherit either a 1998 Buick Regal (V6, but it's the non-supercharged) or a 2002 Dodge Neon.

31, license, no car. Having a car is a PITA in New York. Although the MTA is working hard at making the subway worse.

I had my drivers license at 17,no restrictions.2 weeks after turning 17.

I owned my first "car" at 17,while a senior in high school.
It was a 10 year old Chevy 1/2 ton pickup,with a camper cap on the back.

That was kool at the drive in movies. ;)
:p:D

Parking, insurance, and gas is too expensive to be supported on a part time job,

This is something I don't want to get into. Anyone who knows me knows that this is a very enfuriating subject for me right now.

27, license, no car! I had a car, but I have moved into Philly, and you just don't need a car really...although I am tempted to get a motorcycle again, cause parking would be just that much easier!

:DI got my learner's permit at age 15 1/2 and my license as soon as legally possible. That was many years ago...More than I'd care to admit anyway.

3 cars, 2 motorcycles, 1 license.

Way back when, I got a car before I got a license.

I paid for my first car all by myself in cash $1,800 for a 1985 Isuzu I-Mark at the age of 17.

RIP Isuzu

Nope this was during my pre-Hot Deals era. The car blue booked for $2,500 but it was a family friend who sold it to me. The first year of driving I easily put 30,000 miles on it.

Ah to be 17 again *wipes away the tears*

16 right now, got my driver's license in October.

No car yet, but planning on getting a Mazda 3 next year, or a Scion tC (if it ever comes to Canada)
