I'm a little more than a month away from being twenty-two years old and can't drive yet

@#!$%! What the heck am I supposed to do with the Docmobile I got you for your birthday?

[text to Cole]

[victormakesart]

...I'm getting a car? For rizzle, or for play?

Re: [text to Cole]

[backnthesaddle]

No, that was just my attempt at humor. Do you want a car? I can get you a car. Liam's rich, you know.

[all texts from here on!]

I think I should break the law in less dangerous ways, but... that's a really sweet offer.

[chiron_survivor]

It's probably good idea to learn how to drive, in case of an emergency. Even if your cars use internal combustion engines.

[victormakesart]

I probably should, but the whole darn concept is distressing as heck.

[chiron_survivor]

Spaceships aren't that much safer, really. Does yours have FTL drive?

[victormakesart]

I could never drive it on my own, and really, mostly I just watch, but... I know how to do some of the stuff that needs to be done.

Faster-than-light, yeah? Mine doesn't have that.

Here's that scruffy dark-haired chick sitting crosslegged and barefoot on a couch as she reads a dorky indi comic book. "I'm nearly 37 years old and I don't drive."

[victormakesart]

Victor gets just a little more relaxed, runs both of her hands through her hair. Grins that crooked grin of hers. Smalltalk is like Valium for Victor. Give her words or coffee, and watch her calm on down. "Hey, that's something. Everything in walking distance?"

[random_xtras]

"Most the things I need." The scruffy chick nods. "Mind you, walking distance for me is anything in a five mile radius."

[victormakesart]

"Yeah." She shakes her head. "That's really something! I mean... I can't do that. I could walk that far, but, gosh golly, I wouldn't want to take the time to."

If you live in the city there's other options to driving.

[victormakesart]

I live in a few cities, and one ship. There are alternatives, but... I mean, I bet you know how, right?

[notacargojet]

I know how. I haven't driven in a couple years, though.

[victormakesart]

But you know. There's a kid I used to babysit who can drive before me.

[evillurks]

It may not be necessary, but it's a useful skill. You'd hate to get caught in an emergency needing to drive and not knowing how.

[victormakesart]

Precisely. Usually I'm incredibly prepared for things, but it occurred to me that I have no idea how to do this, except for what I've read in driving books. Which doesn't count.

[evillurks]

Reading is good preparation. I'd advise taking the next step and practicing. With supervision, of course.

[victormakesart]

Yeah, I really ought to. I think I will.
