How To Plan a Date w/o Driving License

[TheLonelyOne]

I still don't have my license. I'm about 16.5 yrs, but i want to date this girl so that we can get to know each other better before prom. I was thinking of taking her Ice skating or a movie. I surf and enjoy going to the beach but i thought that'd be a weird first date.

Anyways if you guys could give me any ideas how to organize a fun date even though i can't drive that'd be great.

There's not too many choices of how to spin this. You're just going to have to meet her at the location unless you want your mom driving you around.

Take her to the DMV or access centre or whatever they call it where you live and get your licence.

Then take her to every fast food joint, grocery store, and construction site in town, and apply for a job at each one.

After that, go to the corner store and get a newspaper, look in the classifieds, and find a decent 15 year old Japanese sports car, clean it up, make sure it runs, and take her out somewhere decent to apologize for all the lame places you went before.

lol that's probably the best answer I read for this kind of quetion. Props to you... what happens if your parents are against you getting a lisence and car cuz they want you to pay for college?

There are all sort of excuses. A car is going to cost one or two grand for a decent looking sports car. Keep in mind American cars stopped being worth buying since about 1970, the only cars worth thinking about are Japanese and European, but mainly Nissan and Toyota. Most guys think girls are into luxury cars, or new cars, because this is what they tell you. The fact is, when she's been over 200 mph in your Skyline GTR (this one is worth over 18k, but irregardless), she'll forget how uncomfortable it is and that it's 15 years old.

You can get a stock version of the cars below (Nissan 240SX and Toyota Supra, circa ~1990), with some minor body damage, for a couple thousand dollars. Slowly start working on it and modifying it, and it will look like this. Cheapest and generally the best way to get a nice fast car.

As for the parents thing, getting a license isn't expensive, and if you get a job, there's not much they can do to stop you from buying a car. If you can't afford gas, don't use it much.

Oh and by the way: these cars may look like ricers, however, there's an important distinction. True ricers are front wheel drive and have purely cosmetic upgrades. Most Hondas or Acuras that have been "tricked out" are ricers. A RWD Nissan or Toyota is not a ricer. It is a race/drift machine, and for the price, will easily outperform anything else on the road.

I smell GTR picture time

This is the car gmillar was referring to.

That car is the answer to anything. Everyone in the entire town knows my name now, and i only put the thing on the road like 3 weeks ago. Infact, i can drive anywhere in the province and someone will recognize it from a picture online.



Anyway, on topic: Yes, get your license and buy a car. Oh, and chicks love 240s.

If you're license is suspended or something, find a friend who will drive you around, and is smart enough to know when its time to **** off for a while and pick you up later.

ps: 200mph = 323km/h... my gtr doesnt go quite that fast. Try 190.

 

[Kev07]

i love my s13, and your spoiler is horrible.

yeah you're going to have to get your liscence lol

 

[gmillar]

Yeah it came with the car, which he imported to sell, so the spoiler isn't really an issue.

So what's the best used car (Around 5-8 grand) that's good for street racing? I don't really want a ricer, but I heard Toyota Supras are pretty cheap and fast.

 

[TheLonelyOne]

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll probably have my license in about a month. Got about 10 hours left then the test. I was just wondering if i should hold off asking her out until i have my license.

dumbest thing ive heard... quit being insecure about that.

hang out with her... get friends to hangout and drive you placesand meet up with her and her friends.

guess what happens when you hold out on hanging out... nothing... she MIGHT even move on.

If you have a friend or something with a car and a chick, have them hook up with you and your girl maybe? You all say go to the mall, and then you split ways for an hour or two. Be sure to always have a way to get in touch with your ride.

For my case, I have an older brother who has a chick that spoils him. She drives him around all over and gets him 50% employee discount at the restaurant she works at (on the rare occasion he chooses to pay). He's what we all call a "natural" Don Juan. If you have someone like that around (like me), you can ask him for ideas to help you out (or get you a dinner discount ).

Also, brothers with cars make excellent wingmen.:yes:

kinda radical, take a bus, train, cab or walk.

Go with a Supra or 240. Best option is to buy it for 2 or 3 grand, then spend the rest making it faster. An RX-7 or something might be decent too, but I don't know much about those. A lot of people use the term "ricer" to refer to any Japanese car. This is incorrect. A ricer is a car that has received purely cosmetic upgrades, and is usually a POS Honda front-wheel-drive car. A supercharged Supra racing machine or a rebuilt Nissan drift slut is not a ricer. A Skyline GTR is a supercar, and will run you 15 grand and up. Keep in mind that cars haven't really improved in the last 40 years significantly, so a 15-year-old car will easily outperform a new car that costs 8 times as much. It's also worth noting that the Toyota Supra is often considered the "muscle car" of Japanese cars.

I don't know where you live, but in Canada, the penalty for driving with your L (learner's permit, must have adult in the car) without an adult is no more than not displaying the little red L sign, merely "driving contrary to restrictions." I'm not sure how it is in the states or wherever you're from, but it's worth checking that out to consider just driving anyway. Keep in mind that if you have a regular car and don't speed, it's very unlikely you'll get pulled over.

Another option is just to have a friend who can drive. Just chill with him, pick up your girl, and another one so it's not awkward or something.
