Stepdad has a really embarassing car?
Hi i'm 13 and my stepdad has a 2007 silver honda civic. He has to take me to school at least twice a week and its really emarassing. Can someone please help me feel better about it?
Take the bus then.
Walk to school and grow up.
At least it's not a PT Cruiser.
Put a brown paper bag over your head when travelling in it.
Walk your behind to school.
Be glad he can afford a car and you don't have to walk
Walk you ungrateful brat.
Why is that car embarrassing?
It's just a normal car. It's neither loud nor quiet in terms of image or styling, and there are lots of them out there.
When I was younger my dad worked at a paper producing factory and drove a beat up old clunker van that used to be a service van for Sears company. Kids at school used to call it the "paper pad van". I had to deal with that for several years. Bothered me then but didn't mean anything at all a few years down the road.
Try biking 15 miles each way, year round down to -20F, rain, snow, or shine.
Do you show up wet down to your underwear at 8am and dry out just in time to ride back for an hour in 34F downpour?
I wasn't embarrassed, I saved up a ton of money, but pretty sure that doing that for a year or two would change your perspective.
- Will a car dealership work with me if I'm gonna lease a new car, while trading in the car I have, which has an outstanding loan against it? The car I have now has a loan against it which is worth more than the trade in value of the car by about $5000. If me and a family member were BOTH looking to lease a new car (so 2 new cars), does anyone know if a dealership will be working to work with me in any way? Also the cars looking to be leased are not high end or luxury cars, they d be coming from a dealership like Honda, Toyota, or Subaru.
- Is it really bad for a well maintained car to do this? When i'm on the freeway, the speed limit is 70 mph but there are steep hills and i drive a honda fit i find myself at 4-5 k rpms at 70mph for 5 mins at a time is this bad
- Should I buy a 2008 honda civic ex-l that has 100000 miles or a honda civic lx that has 82k miles? The honda civic ex-l has only one owner and the honda civic lx is from a dealer. They're fairly the same price
- RPM of car increases really fast, barely pressing the gas pedal? I drive a 2008 Honda civic ex and I noticed that when I press the gas pedal lightly the tachometer increases really fast like up to 2000-3000 rpm and the car is not even going 50 mph. Is it normal for the rpm of the car to go really high when I barely press the gas pedal? My car has about 60,000 miles on it if it helps and I have had no issues with it since I bought it.
