So, as it looks like I may be moving out to East Van, I'm seriously considering a vehicle of some variety. The two major options on the table are buying a car, as I can't legally import my current one, or getting a motorcycle license and buying a motorcycle. As I am a compulsive list maker, here's the break-down for the two options:









CarMotorcycle
Upfront Cost Approximately the same (~$2000). Varies slightly depending on what car/motorcycle I buy, but used prices are comparable
Parking On Campus$84 for one parkade$20 for all parkades + special motorcycle spaces
Parking ElsewherePain in the ass (parallel parking)Slightly less of a PITA
Insurance Costs? (less for motorcycle, though, but ICBC doesn't give quotes without a vehicle)
MPG ($4/gallon) 20 mpg40 mpg
Passengers3-41
Stuff CarriedFurnitureA weekend camping
Coolness FactorThis piece of shit is supposed to have style?Badass


Any input? I know most of the people here are car owners, but I'm open to all opinions.

Also, my touchpad and trackpoint are acting up - neither left-click button works, and the right-click seems to keep pulling in left-click functionality. Cheapo USB mouse is fine though. Weird.
