i see having the DL as quite worthwhile in that sense, but the amount of money that i've saved from riding everywhere is borderline ridiculous, if I wasn't constantly buying cd's or bike parts, i could probably buy and insure a better car than half my mates have anyway.
can i get an amen?
I have a car, but bought it very cheap with the main intention of keeping insurance down. Our insurance company assumes that if I have a license, I must be insured on my mom's much nicer car.
Ooh yeah, money adds up fast when you aren't buying gas, wheels and tires, and booze. For a guy who is only 17 with a meager one "real" job, I'd say I'm quite a financial success: $1400 projector, $1000 surround sound (good shopping made my price around $600), $1000 in a mountain bike, $900 road bike, some extras. Yeah, sure wish I could trade all my hobbies to buy a noisy Mustang
