Comments

[neverdied]

Yeah. Hovers aren't bad but prefer something that touches the ground myself.
Why the lessons?

[devoutish]

Because I can't very well nick a car and pick it up on my own, can I.

[neverdied]

You could. Not a good idea though.

[devoutish]

Amending - nicking a car and teaching myself would not be an intelligent decision.

[neverdied]

Right. Not great if they catch you.
I drive. But don't have a car.

[devoutish]

That's not very useful, is it. Do you have a friend who has one?

[neverdied]

I don't have any friends.
Do you?

[devoutish]

None with experience with modern cars.

[neverdied]

Oh. I can get one if you need. Wheeled or hover. Doesn't matter.

[devoutish]

Would you be getting it legally?

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

Should I not?

[mirror network; private]

[devoutish]

You're a car salesman, then?

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

Nope. Good at borrowing things though.

[mirror network; private]

[devoutish]

You're not helping your case that this would be a legal transaction.

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

Sometimes it's better not to know.

[mirror network; private]

[devoutish]

Not with me.

[He likes to know all the details of his various illegal dealings.]

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

Ok. Well. If you want to drive a car with me then you have two options. You give me money to rent one, or I borrow one without asking.

[mirror network; private]

[devoutish]

There we go. Understood.

Here, you might know - do they allow unregistered imPorts to purchase cars legally?

[He's guessing the answer is no, but as he's currently in the process of purchasing an illegal apartment, he's not planning to let that stop him.]

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

Haven't tried. Bet you could buy one, not so sure they'd let you drive it though.

[mirror network; private]

[devoutish]

I've been wondering if they'll let me get a licence.

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

That's something you'll need to as.
Other option is registering.

[mirror network; private]

[devoutish]

Absolutely not.

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

Then I wouldn't worry about whether they'll let you have a licence. Just drive.

[mirror network; private]

[devoutish]

It's not an element I'm going to just ignore.

[mirror network; private]

[neverdied]

They won't care. And if they do the worst you'll get is a slap on the wrist.
