This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

  • have no car
  • cannot work
  • take loan
  • buy car
  • can go to work (and pay for car)

How to skip steps 2-4?

Pay cash for a car that runs. You aren't getting a loan without income in the first place.

Oh, ok then.

I'm 18, just outta high school, have no money, no friends or family willing to cosign a car, public transit sucks where I live.

How do I get a job?

Or car?

Which one do I get first, when they each require the other?

You get a bike and hate life for a few years.

Around me a 2 hour bike ride one way is not abnormal for a commute. Across freeways and up mountains. It's extremely not bike friendly here.
