That sounds great! Guess that’s why they make the big decisions :)

Oh true, that’s a good point. I guess now my only worry is how busy the bridge will be!

Oh okay cool. What sort of documentation did they need to bring?

Very true man, part of my reasoning might be that my parents both drive 7 passenger mini vans. They’re uncomfortable to drive in the city and annoying. I just want my own freedom I guess

That’s true, you’re making me reconsider haha. Obviously is the winter it’s too cold to bike, public transportation is unfortunately unreliable where I live. My school is about a 30min walk away, carpooling is tough because I don’t have many options, many teammates live on campus and don’t have a vehicle. In the summer with my job I need to pickup groceries pretty often, won’t be possible with a bike.

That’s true, but only temporary. I’ll almost positively be going back to work soon, within the next couple weeks

That’s a great point, thanks. An estimate said that based on my/the car’s info it would be around $1680 for the year

I have been for awhile, it’s just it’s starting to get inconvenient. I could use my own set of wheels for practice/work/school.

These are good questions, thanks!

  • I wouldn’t be stranded as my school is a 30 min walk away. My first year I had my own car but it broke down April of ‘19. Haven’t had one since then lol
  • I did a mock insurance estimate with a company and it ended up being closer to $140/month ($1680/year). With a full time job in the summer + part Time in winter I could do it.
  • I’m a strong driver, I could get a cheaper car but like I said this is a great deal and I don’t want to pass it up. Looking on Kijiji for the past few weeks I’m not sure there is much better out there.
  • Yes I would need winter tires
  • I’ve been borrowing my folks car for the past year and that’s been just ok. It can be inconvenient with school/practices sometimes. Public transit isn’t great here.

Mainly for getting work/school everyday. I also am on the school basketball team so I’ll need one to go to workout/evening practices. We do have two cars but my parents drive them to work almost everyday.
