This is where we are heading.... the youngest generation will give up their car before their cell phone or computer.
For me, I'd give up in order:

1. Cell phone
2. TV
3. Computer
4. Car

Hell, I'd give up my house before my last car.

Consider the tv gone.  They don't put anything on it worth watching any way.  Computer can go. Cell phone can go away next.  I hate the darn thing and never wanted it anyway, but, it is a moneymaker.  I'll keep the car to go look for work or to see the people I normally talk to on the phone, which is much better anyway. :2thumbs:

If I stick a cell phone, tv and computer in the car...can I keep the car?

And this makes sense to me.  Several of my friends with kids turning 16 are not interested in driving and not getting their drivers license.  My niece is one of them.  She is 19 and only now in drivers education.

So the phone junkies don't want to drive aqnymore?  That's the best news any of us can receive!

You know, I have to agree with you on that one. Unfortunately, I think the way our system has become, it's "meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

The TV can go first. Nothing really, but crap on tv anyway. I lived without one once before, so I could do it again.

Hijacked to politics again. Really?  :rotz: 

I can understand (and even participate) when the subject starts out that way. It'll get locked anyway, so hack away I say.

But don't you guys have enough fucking sense to keep from injecting it into every thread ?

You do have a point, but are you saying that mentioning the p*******t is grounds for locking a thread and F-bombs are acceptable?  :shruggy:

Brass

Why not?  For the mods to decide - but I'd rather see F-bombs all day than the political noise that keeps sneaking into these threads. 

RallyeMike

Yes I do have a point.

However, that was rude of me. so let me rephrase:

When someone starts a thread, they have some amount of investment in it. When the same broken record compulsive gentlement drag their politics into it in an ill-attempt at humor, eventually getting said thread locked....... well, that's just not cool for anyone who had any interest in the topic, or the person who started the thread.

If you think that interjecting that the P****** as the number one thing "to go" your list, and do not believe that such a statement is not political, well then I may as well just give up on appealing to any sense of logic I thought you might have.

If you don't ahcve anything to contribute, at least don't derail things for the rest of us. Pretty simple.

Lock her up again Mods  :rotz:

Well I am no fan of the POTUS, but I need my car to get to work. It is the last to go. First would be the cell phone, don't really care to talk to people anyway, then the TV, and finally next to last is the PC. I got to be able to converse with you fine gentlemen, and look for cars &  parts on CL.

Same here, my niece is 18 and not at all interested in getting her license but if I suggested she have her mobile phone surgically attatched to her ear......I'm sure she'd consider it.

But you need the TV to watch a good DVD.  Definitely the mobile phone.

Oh no, a tough one! :scared: :scared: :scared:

No longer have a TV.  Don't regularly carry a cell phone,but my kids do.  Use a bike as my daily driver, but need a car to get around.  Use the computer regularly.....

Probably would keep in this order. 
The TV,
The Cell,
The daily driver,
The computer,
but not the charger.

My son is interested in a car (he is 14) and wants to put it together. 

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

I got over a 100 movies in my movie collection. I haven't watched any for over a year now. I even got about 30 that I bought, and never opened, so, I could care less about a tv. I have to have my phone for work.

I actually resent having to pay for TV.  I say it's only worth half as much as what we get charged.  If that.

The newer generation, I've read in a magazine once, see cars as liabilities.  And you know what, I can't do with out one, but sometimes I think they are right.
