Short and to the point, how do we all get around?
This is my 125cc Jonway Spray (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f130/Nerogirl/DSC00326.jpg)
She's a cute little bugger but she gets me around to friends. But she burns petrol so damn fast so I can't go too far with her. When travelling far, I go in my mom's crappy little Opel Cub 1.3. It looks like a tortoise and drives like one:P
So how does everyone here get around?

Meh, my mum can't drive, I can't drive, my sister can't drive and my Dad lives 15 miles away, so if I can't get there by my own two feet or by public transport, it's not gotten to. My dads alright with giving me lifts though, most of the time.

I tend to walk. Or get the bus usually. Which is unbelievably unreliable. I had to wait 2 hours to come home from college one night last year! Freezing it was aswell.
I'm hoping to get driving lessons soon, just need to save the cash

That's not an image of my car, but it's what my car looks like. A 94 Honda Accord. I'm hoping to get a Jeep in a year or so.

I have my (t)rusty old bike for trips to my friends' house, but unfortunately, I'm a bit of a fair-weather cyclist, so I usually get the bus service everywhere. The buses get me where I need to go, but only run from eight until eight, and then only run every hour, until 11, when they stop altogether. :yuck: I often accept lifts of Tracey, Dave and sometimes Val.
I am definitely considering learning to drive. I'm thinking of working at the same factory as Jason, albeit temporarily, to be able to pay for driving lessons, and eye tests, should I need them. I'd have to get a bus there, and that would give me extra incentive to drive, because the bus would be packed with ruffians and half-wits, not naming any names! :retard:

Getting a lift from my dad is as probable as winning the lottery, so I usually either walk, take public transport, or get lifts with my friends' parents. Haven't used my bike in godamn ages.. O.o

When I'm in Hawaii, I use my 2004 Toyota Corolla. Cute and reliable little thing. Here in Tokyo, it's really kinda pointless to have a car unless it's absolutely necessary. I usually get around by train (the train system here RAWKS!!) or by bike. I luffs my bike. ^^

This is similar to my baby - 1994 Chevrolet Corsica. My Chev is maroon and has leather, though.
I also have a green 1997 Ford Explorer and Mitsubishi five-speed eclipse.

For me, I have a black 1991 Mitsubishi Magna SE. The little 4 cylinder does the job well.

Very small picture of the exact same model and colour. Gotta love Google's Image Search.

Same as him. *erases the word sister for brother*
I recently moved about 8 miles from my home town and I see my friends pretty much everyday so I rely on the bus or train but i get a lift of my mum sometimes

If I want to go into the Town Centre then I will take a bus and here is a picture of the local bus service:

Or if I am going to college or going to the newsagents which is basically down the road from me I will walk.

Grey 2006 Toyota Corolla named Raskolnikov (teehee, I picked out the name myself). But normally, I walk.

... I want one.
I mostly drive my family's boring white 1993 Honda Civic. Reliable car, nice to drive, but lacks a little bit of grunt.

...meh, stealing a bit of bandwidth, but I'm lazy.
Other than that, we've also got a 2004 Toyota Prado and a 1999 (I think) Honda Accord, which I drive a little bit also.
To get to and from Uni, however, I take the bus. It's much, much easier than trying to find a park.
I walk everywhere, and i mean everywhere. On average i walk about 15-18 miles every week day.

I drive a 1991 Chevy Caprice.

It looks like that, only light blue, and a little bigger. xD Maybe its the slimming effect black has.
Anyway, I live in Florida. Public transporation here is embarassing, so driving that thing is the only way I get around. It's starting to fall apart though. =/ If I break to fast it nose dives, so I try to only drive it to and from school. I wish things were close enough that I could walk everywhere!

No car for me. I like to walk, or bike if I have to hurry. If it'll take me more than 45 minutes of biking I'd mostly just take the bus. What can I say, I'm lazy.
