Your Car or Your Computer?

Imagine that both your car and your computer refuse to work in the same day. And you have the money to fix just one of them. Which would you choose: your car or your computer? I, myself, would prefer fixing my car, even though I will miss my computer after that

Thank goodness this is just topic for a discussion and not a real choice that I have to make as I have just got up and it would be a really bad start to the day if it was a real situation I would choose to fix my computer first. I can be without the car and it would mean that I would walk to work and get some exercise until it was repaired. If the weather is bad I don't use it anyway and get lifts or a taxi home at midnight when my shift ends. I can't imagine being without my computer because, as well as earning some extra funds, I use it to keep in touch with my family in UK and US and, though I could phone them, it would not be the same.

Well, it started as a topic for discussion but soon after I posted my mouse broke... I was mouseless. I hate it when I have to deal with the computer without mouse - it is hard, tiring and I was thinking of going out to buy new mouse. However, I decided to wait until today, because I was afraid to go with my car, because it started to seem like I was chalenging destiny.

I would choose to fix my computer. I spend more time in front of it than in my car. If just for a day, I can take a cab, ride the bus, or hitch a ride to where I'm going. I can't think of an alternative for my computer.

Yes, but if it is not just for a day? I mean, if you don't hae the money now, I don't suppose you will have them in a day. I also use my computer more than my cor, but if I have to be without a car for a month, for example, my expenses will jump to the sky

I would prefer to get my computer working that get my car fixed. Then I could enjoy going on the Internet and worry about fixing my car another day. I am used to my car not working. I have just had it served and I went out for a drive in it yesterday. I am trying to prepare for my practical driving test. I don't like it when my computer won't work. I have a laptop and if it didn't work I would try using my net book. It would be very upsetting if neither of them worked. I would phone up a computer specialist and book a home visit. Then hopefully he would get my computer working again.

Well, given the general situation in our house, neither one of these would actually be detrimental to us as we have two vehicles that we keep and a total of four computers. So, it would really depend. If it was the family car that broke down, that would be the first priority because we cannot all travel in the truck. However, if it was the truck, I would just be stranded at home during the day with my computer and thus my computer would have to be the thing that was fixed first because I am most comfortable on my own desktop than my husband's or either of the laptops.

I think that is what you call "having options".

HI! I have no doubt about answering the question- I go and choose my computer, because it is more important to me! I mean, I am not addicted to it, but I watch movies every day, I chat with my friends every day, I check my emails every day, and at this time I have no car! But if I had, I also will choose the computer, because I have no problems walking along, I love take a walk for an hour or two, it makes me feel better and more relaxed!

Fix the computer, and use it to find a better car on the classifieds, or use it to find the car parts you need to get the car up and running again. Either way you can always use some other forms of transportation, like Bike, Skateboard, or the bus ??? It's all good eventually :-) And it's Eco friendly. :-)

The car I need. The computer is generally a toy. A fun toy, but a toy. I can fix the toy later. The car I need to get to work so I can earn money to fix the toy.

My computer in a heartbeat. I rarely drive, unless I really have to. I use my computer each and every day. It is a no-brainer for me. Driving is something that I can really live without myself. Computer on the other hand, is a vital part of my day, because I go to school online. So its kind of important in that sense.

I will fix my Car first. Actually What I will do is, I will give preference to the one which is available in spare while it is under maintenance. I mean If I will get a spare car then I will pay the money for my computer and get it instantly repair, car will be taken care as soon as I manage to pay for it' repair. Same will be applicable to computer also.

I would have to fix my car. I need it - if there were ever an emergency , like my animals needing to go to a vet- I need a way to transport them. My computer can wait.

I would fixed my computer, because I don't have car and I spend a lot time in front of computer to do online job. Car is not important for me, I can take the bus or motorcycle taxi to go to somewhere.

I would get my computer fixed first. Because there's no substitute for it. If my car is broken down, there is always a alternative means of commuting, for example, I could hire a cab. On the other hand, I need my computer (laptop) to do my work. Without it, I would feel so helpless and unproductive.
