ONTD

you shouldn't have edited your comment. i thought you were trying to mimic her with some words capitalized and others not lol.

most of the people i know who grew up in manhattan don't/barely know how to drive, or just started to learn in their 20s

she's from NYC, she might not know.

She's from Manhattan.

The R8 has an automatic transmission (but it's the auto DSG kind).

I live in NYC and got my license a year ago and I'm 25! It's normal not to have one!

i'm almost 22 and don't know how to drive. you don't need a car in nyc tbh.

Like everyone else has pretty much said, I'm from New York and I hadn't even done so much as sit behind the wheel of a car before I left for college (which is admittedly in L.A., so... y'know... I learned).

I didn't learn until I was 23... everything was in walking distance/good public transportation in the SF bay area/etc

me too!

I just finished my lessons. Now I just need to grow a pair and finally go to the DMV.

Ugh, yeah. I mean, I know how to drive on the highways and such, no problems there ... but the fucking reverse. I just can't do it!

me too :)

idk how anyone can drive automatic, especially during a longer drive

I only drive manual.

Automatic, but it's got the dual clutch gearbox with paddle shifters. So it shifts gears much faster than possible with a manual transmission.

oop, hold on.

I have my G1 as well. But seriously getting my G2 this year, even though I'm terrified to drive.

i kinda cant tbh. i have my license and went to drivers ed and everything, when i was 19, but i havent driven for like 7 years or more. it just scares me soo much lol.

23, and just got my g2 last summer, then moved to toronto and don't even need to drive (not that i had a car anyway).

My friend is turning 31 in July and she still doesn't have her license. I would go INSANE.

Same here! Except im 22. Its annoying cause i can drive but i get SO nervous when im taking the road test so i fail lol.

I was 26 when I finally got my license :-x before that, I didn't really have a NEED for my license. But it is nice to be able to get up and go whenever I want now. Plus I like being in my little car jamming to cheesy music lol

I'm almost 26 and I don't have a license. Driving scares the shit out of me. That's what happens when you see a child get run over and killed in front of you at a young age. :(

The same! I just turned 25 a couple months ago, but I finished lessons way before then. I'm just too chickenshit to make an appt at the DMV and take the driving portion.

Yeah I have my G2, and I need to go in the for the G test really soon cause my license expires in June. I'm an ok driver but I still can't park for shit and highways terrify me. Might just take the G2 test again to prolong my license lol.

Lol same except I'm 26 and I got my Ls on my 16th birthday (the age you can get your Ls here) and then never learned. My permit is really just for ID.

I'm 22 and just have my learner's permit. But I drive every day illegally because I'm just so lazy to get my actual license. It's pretty bad.

lol 23 here, got my G1 when I was 18 and that was about it!
It expires next May though... so I'll probably have to retake it so I can get my G2 (if ever!).

Living in Toronto makes driving unnecessary though.

26, G1 expired 1.5 years ago :/ No public transit either.

i'm 18 and just got my G in december. i rushed through the process, did my g1 and g2 tests as soon as i was eligible then waited about 6 months after being eligible to do the G cuz of work then school. i'm relieved to have it over with.

Hahahaha I'll be 28 on the 16th and I'm still sitting on a G1.

I really want to go for my G2 but I need to get new glasses first. :(

She's learning in her own car. As long as you have a licensed driver in the front with you you're OK.

Considering she's driving an Audi, I doubt it's a driving school car. Besides I don't think you need to do incars if you are 18+

city thing.

probably city. a lot of my friends from college grew up in the city and had enough public transportation that they didn't need to drive.

City thing.

new yorker thing

city thing. I didn't get my learner's permit until my early 20s because I had no reason to. took the bus everywhere.

Definitely a city thing. If you live in areas where there's a lot of public transportation, you usually rely on that. Also, some people don't get their licenses until later because of insurance costs.

she's trying to save the world but she can't even drive!

Def a city thing. I'm 25 and barely planning on taking the test at the DMV.

it's a gaga thing
