I am considering getting my own car. Yes, this would require me to learn how to drive properly, but that doesn't strike me as too difficult. I know the basics, and my current driver has started turning up late when I need him, so obviously I need a new arrangement.

Does anyone actually drive themselves around the city nowadays?

You're really thinking about driving around here?? You're braver than you look....

[gentle_strike]

The roads are appalling, but I've never let a little challenge stand in my way. I don't like being driven around every day without being able to do it myself.

I don't think many people do drive themselves. With the public transportation available, why would they? It's better anyways.

[gentle_strike]

I expected as much. I can't stand the congestion of the city's public transport, though, so perhaps I shall become one of the few who brave the streets in a car on the way to school.

Parking would be a nightmare, I suppose.

[greenasleaves]

Well...if you hate the subway, walk. I walk all the time, maybe you should walk with me!

Parking at school? Do we have a place for that?

[gentle_strike]

Walking?

I think I live a little too far out for that.

There's definitely a small carpark in the area. I can see it from one of my classrooms, through windows facing east. I assumed it was the school's, since most things around here are.

I could teach you how to drive, un!

Do you drive around the city yourself?

[firecrackerart]

all the time!

[gentle_strike]

You sound significantly more enthusiastic about it than everybody else.

What's wrong with the subway?

[divaricates]

NYC's too congested for even that half the time.

It doesn't hurt to learn to drive, but I wouldn't recommend driving in the city. The subway is much more efficient.

[gentle_strike]

Well, I avoid the subway by any means necessary. Far too crowded for my liking. And I don't like not knowing things, so not knowing how to drive is fast becoming an annoyance. I shall definitely have to learn, even if I don't end up driving around the city.
