<p>2000 euros for a driving license??? That's so expensive! I've paid something like 6 euros total with the pictures for it.</p>
<p>Lucky. When it works out, with the cost of the driving school and license it comes out to around 2000 euro. No way am I paying that when I can do it for much less in the US. Its so ridiculous.</p>

In the US you can have a learner's permit in most places at 15 and a license at 16. Very strange.

<p>Well, the drinking age in much of Europe is 18, right? It's 21 here, so that evens things out ;)</p>
<p>I drive a 97 Volvo 850 turbo =)</p>
<p>Well 16 for beer and wine. But yeah I guess it does even out. Plus we can drive unlimited speeds. So perhaps it is worth the wait.</p>
<p>I am baffled when it comes to car buying, as you have to have a job to get the cash, but have to have a car to get to your job. Did most of you all get them from your parents or something?</p>
<p>2001 Mazda Tribute, with lots of extras...its definatly a mom car, and I swear I can see the fuel gauge move on the way to school.</p>
<p>I'm getting my car from my parents- they don't expect me to have a job, well at the moment I can't have one, but when I go to college they expect me to study and not work.</p>
<p>I drive a bicycle. :(. my parents don't want me to drive. and i<code>m born in late november 1990 anyways so its a while before i can even begin the process of testing, permit, license, etc etc. rawrr!! but they said that once i mature, i</code>ll get my parents' 1993 ford taurus.</p>
<p>to whoever asked--the driving age is 16 in most states in the US.</p>
<p>and to whoever else asked--I am making the payments for my Magnum. If I get NM finalist, ($75k scholarship to OU), then my parents will buy me an 06 civic...which might seem spoiled, but $75,000-$22,000=$53,000. so they're not complaining.</p>
<p>In MD it's like 16 and three months (permit at 15 and 9 mos., license no less than six months later).</p>
<p>I drive a 1998 Camry.</p>
<p>sooners.brian im almost in the same situation as you are, except not quite as good. I'm hoping if I get NM my parents will get me some kind of car. I think the 06 civic Si looks nice...</p>
<p>I drive a '99 Toyota 4Runner. And I didn't have to pay for it, whomever asked. Mine was my 18th birthday present. </p>
<p>The previous owner was an old lady who really never drove it, so it has less than 37,000 miles. And it's so nice, leather seats and a 6-cd changer. I love it!</p>
<p>2000 Ford Taurus...it's a piece of crap really but it looks nice and runs...so I'll live with it.</p>
<p>17 years old (senior).</p>
<p>Obtained pink slip in Health & Safety freshie year. Never cashed it in.</p>
<p>Seriously, if i drove, I'd kill...unintentionally, of course.</p>
<p>2004 Ford f350 crew shortbed 4x4 6.0L PSD. Paid for it myself and pay for my own insurance, with money earned working.</p>
<p>o.o I don't have my liscene yet....>/ Getting it on my birthday so I don't have to take classes. >[ Boring. </p>
<p>o_o; I drive a.....>>; nice car. [coughs]Cujoe[coughs] Don't even say it. >P</p>
<p>I have a job, but "my" car is actually one of my father's cars. I wouldn't have gotten one for myself, and they hate driving me around. He bought a used car, and it's under his name and technically his. But, he bought it for my use. No one else drives it. It worked well. :)</p>
<p>I drive a 98 Volvo S90. Not mine, though.</p>
<p>i'll be driving a camry starting in february... ugh i have to wait until i'm 17</p>
<p>exrunner--yeah, the Civic Si does look sweet. the 2006 civic got car of the year award...my dad read that somewhere. I just want something safe, quality, and less flashy than my magnum...I just feel too 'teenage-boyish' driving it around.</p>
