My New Car

Passing my driver’s licence test was seriously one of the best days of my life. I know it sounds stupid, but that little bit of extra freedom I now have is unprecedented. I love it. I love being able to go where I want, whenever I want, without having to rely on trams that never …

This Is Expensive

Owning a car has become so expensive recently. It’s been growing in price over the past few years, but increased to a ridiculous, unsustainable, unfair amount over the past two weeks. I’ve basically been driving around the whole city trying to find a petrol station that’s offering unleaded for less than two dollars. And not …

Holiday in Hobart

I’m going to Hobart next weekend! My boyfriend’s dad is turning 60 and his parents have paid for his entire family plus partners to go to Hobart together for the weekend. How exciting! They have four children, my boyfriend being the second youngest, and they all have partners. That means his parents are paying for …

Mechanic Interview

I’ve been asked for my school assignment to interview someone in the community and write about what they said. We need to choose someone who works in an industry that we are interested in so that we can get an idea of what it’s like. This will hopefully help us choose our subjects for next …

New Queanbeyan Mechanic

Now that I’ve moved out of home, I have to start finding things in my local area. I don’t really know the right term for what I’m saying, but I mean I need to find a new doctor, pharmacist, nail salon and mechanic around the Queanbeyan area so that I can be properly settled in. …

Lack Of Repairs

I never cared about cars until I bought my own. Now I’m obsessed with cars. I envy anyone who has a better car than me and feel beyond smug when I see a car that sucks in comparison to mine. I also hardcore judge people who clearly don’t get their car serviced. It’s embarrassing. Like …

Driving Accomplishments

My older sister just got her license. I can’t believe it. She single-handedly paid for every single driving lesson she ever had, which would’ve cost her almost $10,000 by the time she got her license last month. She’s only 1.5 years older than me and she’s achieved so much more than I have. I know …

Easy Drive Listening

There I was, just minding my own business, windows down and Ez-Club Seventy-Seven: Greatest Hits blaring out the windows, which is the only way to drive, I might add. My job involves a lot of driving around my local area, so I try to entertain people with my incredibly loud and obnoxious early-2000s bubble-gum pop. …

People Against Driving

Hi Michael and Jarrod! My name is Sarah, and I live just outside of your town. I know a big group of people who are also against driving and we’re all a part of our own club called ‘People Against Driving’ or ‘PAD’ for short. We found it funny because cars have brake pads. As …

Friendly Tyre Repair

My friends is so dumb. He made a bet that we wouldn’t be able to drink any beer on our night out last weekend. It’s like he forgot that other alcohol exists… which is something that I’d never forget. Even his actual bet was dumb. It favoured the four of us so much more than …
