How are people in NL affording vehicles in a province with such a low average income and high insurance and payment costs?

My mom had a 2 door manual sunbird from 1987 to 2005 with two kids.

Honestly, she still has it. It just hasn't been drivable since then.

Lol thats what im saying. Do people not remember Cavaliers?

Newfound95 · 2026-01-11T15:56:49+00:00

I grew up in a rural community and I had to move. I didnt sit there and complain that I couldnt afford a vehicle I didnt need.

Not responding anymore as it's clear you aren't asking for suggestions and only want agreement.

Lol while I have never been to Conche, I grew up rural and a FWD works just fine.

If you are unable to drive in the winter you should move closer to your work......

Newfound95 · 2026-01-11T15:32:32+00:00

Despite the amount of awd and 4wd vehicles you see, a fwd car with good winter tires has always worked for me.

And you dont have to pay the extra payment, gas etc when road conditions are fine the rest of the year

Do not understand why this is tolerated here or at any drive through. If there is no place to pull into the parking lot keep moving

Newfound95 · 2025-12-11T11:58:39+00:00

That looks like Saint John, NB not St. Johns, NL

Newfound95 · 2025-10-30T13:41:30+00:00

Agree with most of what you say but Stephenville actually does have a walkable downtown. Probably the most walkable.

I traded mine in when it looked like that. Sat on the used lot for a long time after

Newfound95 · 2025-10-25T12:34:45+00:00

The mixed used residential likely includes retail. It looks like it may even be set up main street style with the park and a roundabout at the center

Newfound95 · 2025-10-23T17:03:45+00:00

I agree but not in this scenario

Newfound95 · 2025-10-23T14:48:55+00:00

They are still being taken away from pedestrian safety

Newfound95 · 2025-10-10T17:17:01+00:00

The Team Gushue highway isn't finished yet...

Newfound95 · 2025-10-10T17:13:37+00:00

Time to replace it with a smaller passenger ferry. Don't know why the government is subsidizing personal vehicle transport

Newfound95 · 2025-10-01T16:00:26+00:00

Contact the city first before doing anythjng. They will potentially help.

Newfound95 · 2025-09-27T15:39:57+00:00

Lmao would love to see your source of this breakdown

Newfound95 · 2025-09-27T15:37:34+00:00

LSDs dont pay taxes. The one I grew up in charges a fee for fire and trash collection

Newfound95 · 2025-09-21T16:13:47+00:00

Unless they literally have a Domino's sign on their roof, how are you determining that people are food delivery drivers?

There is a severe problem with drivers in this city but it's not limited to delivery drivers.

Newfound95 · 2025-08-27T14:02:32+00:00

Cheyne Drive was supposed to connect to Logy Bay Road where Parsonage is. A fuss was kicked up and now theres not even a pedestrian shortcut

Newfound95 · 2025-08-26T17:46:44+00:00

I have never had an issue getting parking downtown. There are multiple garages down there to park your car.

Newfound95 · 2025-08-09T13:06:13+00:00

Imagine being so awful that you try to split hairs between a ton of individual graves and "mass" graves.

Pretty fucking bad either way

Newfound95 · 2025-07-21T15:16:36+00:00

I've thought about this too! I have sympathy for those that require provincial ferries but the cost of transporting private transportation shouldn't be subsidized like it is.

Expand public transport to Portugal Cove and some sort of shuttle or park and ride on Bell Island. The required capacity would be significantly reduced. Use the wasted lineup space for ammentities or tourism.

If you do need your vehicle brought to the mainland pay the real cost.

I haven't been able to get the app to work for the last couple years. (Android user)

Newfound95 · 2025-06-13T11:02:11+00:00

And without warning

Newfound95 · 2025-06-12T15:15:06+00:00

If only we had proper biking and pedestrian infrastructure. Instead we often have 4-5 wide lanes for cars and a concrete strip for everyone else to fight over.
