Hang Out and Post

[Spritzie]

I wasn't a fan of Mexico. We went to Cabo San Lucas. It wasn't warm enough. There was nothing cool to do. When we went to the Bahamas, there were a lot of things to see and take pics of. (My dad is huge into photography.) He went on to music/concert crusies with me, because I didn't want to go with my best friend. The first year, to the Bahamas, 3 day cruise. We went with 2 cameras, and came back with 2000 pics/videos. The next year, 4 day cruise (plus 3 extra days in Long Beach, CA before and after) we went with 3 cameras, and came back with over 3000 pics in videos. (The pic on my profile is from the last cruise, from LA to Cabo)

[Anisha]

Oh! This sounds so exiting. I just want to go to Bahamas right now. :laughingsmiley:

[Spritzie]

It was amazing. I was walking around in shorts, tank tops and flip flops, in February/March. Off getting sunburns, while everyone back home was dealing with snow. Last year, when we to CA, my sister took us to the airport in my car, and dropped it back at my apartment. They got hit with a blizzard that night. I sent her a pic from the beach... she was buried in snow. She said she would have gone and got my car from my apartment and used it for the week, since I have an SUV, but she couldn't get her little sports car out of her apartment parking lot. :laughingsmiley:

 

We did look silly coming back, however, wearing shorts and flip flops, while it was below freezing and snowing. :laughingsmiley:

[Anisha]

lol. I can imagine. It must be funny, wearing shorts and flip flops while it's been freezing.

And you have a SUV? Cool. I like SUVs. I like cars which are big and comfy. Not that I hate sport cars. I like them too.

 

Wow. It's 5 am right now in India. I have been up all night. Yay! Three cheers for me. :laughingsmiley:

[Spritzie]

Yep. A couple years ago, I bought my dream car. It's a Toyota Rav4. I've wanted one since they first put them out in 1996. It almost nearly got totalled 2 months later, by a loser. He almost completely wrecked TCD. (My best friend deemed it, The Dream Car)

[Anisha]

I just googled the car and saw the image. It's amazing. :)

We don't have a SUV. I requested dad many times to buy one big family SUV. But as I our family's not that big, we have a Chevrolet Spark. It's a good car though. Very smooth.

[Spritzie]

I love it. It's a great car. In October, I'll have had it for 3 years. When my husband saw it for the first time, he was like... You're joking, right? :laughingsmiley: Now he absolutely loves it. Now all my family, except my sister, has SUVs. My dad has a Ford Escape for a company car. And my mom has a Jeep Cherokee. My sister, when she gets a new car, is trying to decide between a Toyota 4Runner (SUV) or Toyota Tundra (Truck)

[CAV of Gang Green]

I can't drive, therefore I can't complement to the topic :(. But I love cars. It's a tradition for me, my dad, and my brother to go to the New York Auto Show every year.

[Spritzie]

Do you have a specific favorite car type? (Truck, SUV, Sports Car) Or a favorite car?

[Anisha]

I love cars. My cousin sister has a SUV. She is 24 now. I spend most of my time begging her to teach me how to drive. But she says I am too young for that. And she's right. I am really young for that.

I hope I grow up soon.

[Spritzie]

I love cars too. I love trying to figure out a car model by the headlights in my rear-view mirror at night. I used to love the Dodge Viper. I'm a Toyota girl though. Of my 3 cars since I've had my own, I had 2 Toyotas (My first, a Camry. 3rd, Rav4.) and one Honda. (Civic)

 

Toyota's are a family favorite. One of my mom's first cars was a Toyota Celica. My sister has a Celica now. My family has had a Camry and Land Cruiser new. (Camry being an 1982 I think. The LC was bought in 1992) And my parents have an old Toyota mini-van.

 

I drove for the first time when I was 14. My mom let me drive in an empty mall parking lot. I got my permit one month after I turned 15. Got my license the day I turned 16. So I've been driving for 9 years and 10 months now.

 

EDIT: And Cav, I was asking you too, what your favorite cars were.

[Anisha]

In India, you are not allowed to drive until you are 18. And my dad would never let me touch the car steering. For him I am still a 'Kid'. <_<

[Spritzie]

Here, it's 15, with a permit, which means you can drive as long as someone in the car is 21+ and a licensed driver.

 

With 16, license, you can do whatever. Though when I got my license, there were restrictions until 17. You weren't allowed to drive between midnight and 5 am I think. I only broke that once, because I was baby-sitting until 1am.

[Anisha]

Wow. You are sure lucky. India has got lots of traditions and stuff. And here they say that a person might get spoilt driving at young age. I see no point in it. Though many people in India drive without license. My brother once did. But when my parents knew it, he was like, "I didn't do that!"

[Spritzie]

Here... you can drive at 15/16. Vote and join the military at 18. But you have to be 21 to drink. :laughingsmiley:

[Divya Bean]

I always thought that that was kind of weird. I am not against it but...if you already have all of those privileges then why not drink? However I do not think the drinking age should be lowered because it would be wayyyy to bad for the teens.

[Anisha]

Drinking here in India is a common thing. College students often bunk their classes and hang out with their friends drinking or smoking somewhere. I just don't think it's good.

[Divya Bean]

I agree with you. Except here, the kids have HUGE parties where the drink and do drugs in corners. :sick01:

[Anisha]

I know. These kids seems pointless to me. Don't they have anything else to do? The seniors in our school when graduated, they burst bombs in our school playground. According to them, it was a prank, a graduation prank. But they really scared the crap out me. That time I was 13 years old and we were having our Art Classes (I think) and the graduation ceremony was taking place in our school assembly. And then we heard a big BAAM! Obviously the boys who did this didn't get scoldings or punishment or whatever. They had already graduated. They were no longer students. Smart, weren't they? <_<

[Divya Bean]

God, what bozos. I think kids like that should be expelled because they are a MAJOR threat.

[Anisha]

Did you clear the mist today? I missed Tarla 3 times today. Can you believe it? 3 times! I am still trying. Refreshing every 5 mins.

 

EDIT: Found her! Yay! I cleared the mist.

[CAV of Gang Green]

EDIT: And Cav, I was asking you too, what your favorite cars were.

 

Sorry, I wasn't online at the moment. I don't have a specific favorite, but I do like Acuras. Other cars are cool too.

[Divya Bean]

Yeah, I just did. I havent missed any when I was actually on, but I missed quite a few when I was asleep. I would say about 3. :worried:

[Anisha]

I found her right now. I am glad. Hey Divya, Where's Spritzie? She isn't online.

[Divya Bean]

Nice job finding her! Hmm...I dont know where Spritzie is. Maybe she is actually doing work! *gasp* :laughingsmiley:
