...try moving to China.

(Dollar Values in Canadian Currency)

Here's some facts...

1) A civic costs around $80,000 in China
2) A college educated worker earns around $1200 a YEAR
3) A PH.D educated worker earns around $7000 a YEAR
4) Most people have never driven a car - let alone BEEN IN a car.
5) Driving is restricted mainly to Taxis and Company designated drivers.

So we actually have it pretty good here in NA.

somebody give me some numbers
80,000 / 1,200 =66.666666666
well if i was a student it would take me 66 years ,, but if i got PHD after four years
80,000 / 7000=11.XXXXXX

I've heard that to pass the license exam, you have to cram your car parelel parking in a place so small not even a hatch would fit, and do it all in just one try and not hitting the other cars....damn

Actually to get your drivers licence you need to pass a 6 month training session. There's this one taxi driver i read about that has
over 2million KM/s without a single accident. Now that's skill baby.
