    How are you doing guys? So, if you could choose one, would you rather go without the internet or a car for one whole month? Personally i can't function without the internet. I'd rather give up my car.

    I can live without internet, but I can't go to work without my car ... I will choose the car over internet.

    I would definitely pick going without the Internet. Yes, it's convenient, but I don't depend on it as much as I depend on my car.

    I've gone without the Internet, and although I missed it, I would give it up in a second if I had to choose between it and my transportation.

    I guess it also has a lot to do with where a person lives too. If I lived somewhere--where there were buses and public transportation on every corner that ran all day and all night, then maybe I would be more willing to give up my car over the Internet.

    Wow. I don't ever want to be put in that position. Lol. I have been without Internet before and it sucks.

    As for a car. I drive 20 minutes to get to work and would hate to think about how early I would have to get up to take the bus. Plus I don't have a set start or finish time. So that would mean lots of time wasted waiting around rather then living my life.

    And without the Internet, how would I run Gearhead Central?

    The job pays my bills so I would have to pick car (my Jeep :)). But I work hard to not have to make that decision and hope to keep it that way.

    That would be really bad either way. However, since my job requires the Interweb, I guess I'd go without the car. It wouldn't be easy though. ;)

    I would have to go without the internet for a month. I would go crazy without my car. I love driving and getting to go wherever I want to go without having to ask for a ride. My car is my baby and she is treated as such.

    I can go without a car. I've done it before and had to rely on public transportation for a year. I need the internet as I don't have television and it's my source of entertainment. Although I love my car and it gets me to places quicker than public transportation, it won't break me if I had to do without it.

    I'd rather give up my car than live without the internet. It has been a big connector for me. Without it I would certainly feel out of place. If I need to move around I could always solve that problem by calling on a friend or taking a taxi so that's easy.

    I would give up my car for a month. I live pretty close to everything I need, and actually like the feeling of saving gas and getting some exercise. I use the internet for so many things that it would be really hard to live a month without it. (sadly) I would miss driving though, it's so fun.:(

    That is truly a hard thing to think about , and like most of the rest of us, I depend a lot on both my car and the internet, and would hate to give up either one.
    I guess if it had to be one or the other, I would keep my car. Transportation is a necessity for me. Internet is not a necessity, but I would be lost without being able to go online.
    Hopefully, that is not the kind of decision that i would have to ever make ! !

    Personally I don't own a car so the choice is simple. I only borrow/use friends cars so I wouldn't have too much of a hard time giving up a car I don't own.

    Sounds like an easy verdict..Internet FTW..!!..but given a choice between Internet and maybe a vehicle you own.
    and if you did own one,would this have been different or would you still have gone with Internet..

    Screw the internet. I love driving and I couldn't stay one month without driving unless I really have to.

    I'm going to choose car over internet. Internet isn't necessary for my daily needs but a car is. Without a car I wouldn't be able to get anywhere conveniently. I hate using public transportation because it's horrible here. So without a car, I won't be able to get anywhere and that includes buying food to eat.
