Actually owning a car is one of the great benefits of being an adult. While a person getting their license for the very first time is monumental, buying your very first car is just as important, maybe even more so. Much like renting out your very first apartment or house, it symbolizes your transition from callous youth into a hopefully, responsible adulthood. Sounds like a major burden on your shoulders right? Maybe. But having a car that you can use at your own leisure has its own rewards and benefits.
For one thing, you are not tied to the public transportation you have in the city. And depending on how big or small your town is, your public transportation options might be quite adequate or severely lacking, respectively. In either case, relying solely on public transportation means having to deal with the possibility of transportation breakdowns, late trains and/or buses, rude taxi drivers, confusing train schedules, and so on. You have none of these problems when you have a car of your own. All you really need to do is fill your car up with gas and drive off into the sunset. Okay, you do not have to drive off into the sunset but you can if you want, and on your own time and your own schedule! What is not to love about that?
Having a car you can use whenever you want removes the possibility of missing out on an important event, date, or meeting when having to rely on public transportation. You can schedule things more easily when you have a car on hand that will get you wherever you need to go at whatever time that is most beneficial to you and/or everyone involved. Barring traffic and inclement weather, it is a whole lot easier to deal with than public forms of getting around. It also beats having to sit in a crowded and oftentimes smelly subway car. It also beats having to hail down cabs as they whiz by you for no good reason.
The types of cars you can possibly buy means having a lot of options with what you can do on the road. An SUV is perfect for short and long-distance driving with more than one person and their luggage. It is the perfect vehicle to tour the countryside in. if you are looking for a luxury vehicle to cruise around the city in and show off to your friends and strangers alike, by all means, go ahead and buy yourself one!
