It even looks strangely like a beagle!

Sounds like a personal issue to me. I do use my car. I expect Hartley uses her truck, and most people that have posted cars or trucks in here use theirs. Not everybody lives someplace where you can walk everywhere, or ride a bus everywhere. Or bike, I like to ride my bike, but doing the ride to school every day is a bit much in the late spring and early fall, and downright dangerous to impossible in the winter.

That is pretty cool, though. A hovercraft ferry?

Lunchbox:
I have a car but I use it like, once a fortnight to drive to the shops. My Dad bought it for me brand new because he is a great Dad, but now that I live in the city I don't need it. He won't let me give it back to him so I still have to pay for rego and insurance (which is a BITCH in the inner city) in January! What a lousy month for it.

Well er...yeah it's a personal issue? I never said I didn't see the point in cars. I was more saying like, I can't even afford to learn to drive. Kind of a lament?  :?

Hovertravel is bitching but the mainland terminals in kind of a weird place, plus they won't run it in any sea-state above 4 because people are enormous pussies and they can't be bothered to put in furnishings you can easily wipe vomit off. Riding a hovercraft in even somewhat rough seas is, admittedly, something of an experience, but come on. If you're going to live on an island you gotta get used to the idea of the sea.

I have actually been on a red jet crossing where people were throwing up, incidentally. It ruined the ride; I hadn't had as much fun on the sea (whilst not soaking wet) since they stopped running the hydrofoils off of Ryde Pier. Now they were something; there's an instinctual level on which you know, for certain, that boats shouldn't actually fly. Certainly not 70 tonne passenger vessels going at 35 knots.

Nodaisho:
Ah, okay. I thought you were saying that cars sucked and were useless in general, not that you couldn't afford them.

I need to ride a hovercraft at some point before I die. Not much opportunity in a landlocked state.
