Autos Usados en Venta en Omaha, NE

Omaha is a small/big city. It's population is around 400,000 and it has it's occasional high volume traffic but it is nothing compared to Chicago or LA. The great thing about Omaha is that it has a couple of highways/freeways that goes around much of the city. So, you always have at least two options to travel. You can take the highway or you can take the slow ways. Depending on the time of day, like around 5 during the weekdays which is rush hour, you might want to avoid the highways, or just avoid going anywhere at all, unless you live in an area that is away from downtown.

When buying a car in this city, the one thing that I always keep in mind is the weather. We have four seasons: Winter, fall, summer, and Spring. So buy a car that will do well in all seasons. We do have some rough winters here, so I personally would never buy a car that is rear wheeled. If you do buy a rear wheeled car or a fun zippy sports car, do make sure that you have a winter car on hand. Buy a car that's either a front wheeled or an all wheeled.

My most favorite memory of driving was when I was 19 years old. I am from Lincoln, NE, a city of about 100,000 people. I hadn't gone outside of Nebraska much most of my life and when I turned 19, myself and my 18 year old cousin decided that we wanted to take a road-trip together to Chicago. Chicago is about an 8 hour drive from Lincoln and we were both super excited. Two small town girls taking a road-trip to a big city. I did most of the driving on this road-trip while my cousin did most of the navigating. I was a better driver and she was a better atlas reader so it was a perfect combo. We listened to all our favorite tunes about 5-10 times along the way. When we got to Chicago, the traffic was more than amazing. Amazing in a horrifying and exciting way. Everyone had warned me about the traffic and I had prepared myself for what I thought would be the worse. I'm from a small town, so traffic to me was just being stuck at a red light for more than 5 minutes. But when I got to Chicago, it was nothing I had ever seen. I briefly noticed the spectacular buildings but couldn't really enjoy them because I was desperately trying to keep up with traffic and people honking. I was trying not to irritate anyone with my small town, passive driving. I swear I heard car horns like very 5 seconds; my ears were going crazy. Not only was traffic congested, but my head was too. I was getting so frustrated. I couldn't focus on just one thing. It took me forever to get anywhere. I kept waiting for other cars to go through. My cousin and I spent about 3 days in Chicago and by the 3 day, I got used to the chaos. I learned how to multi-task drive and was able to focus on cars and traffic all around me. The noise and the honking no longer bothered me and I got used to it. I was zipping through heavy traffic like a pro. HAHA. I loved it. I had to become an aggressive driver to get anywhere in that town and it was a great experience. When someone honked at me, I honked right back at them. I feel like, my experience of driving around in Chicago advanced my skills as a driver and I enjoyed it. By the end of our vacation, I was glad to go back home to my quiet home town with very little traffic and congestion but I was truly going to miss the hustle and bustle of big city traffic.

Regency Drive, Omaha, NE. When my husband and I were first dating, he lived in an apartment off of Regency Drive. And I would take that route back home to my place. I was always happy and in a good mood after leaving his place. The drive was peaceful and fulfilling for me. The drive is very short, it's maybe only a mile long but it stretches through beautiful residential areas with huge homes and an upscale shopping mall and private club with a lake and a gorgeous water fountain. The road is really windy and covered with rows of huge trees. In the fall when the leaves turn, the road is a gorgeous array of orange, yellow, brown, red colors. In the summertime, there are beautiful flowers and displays from the shopping mall. I love it. I still live in the town and I still enjoy the drive on this road. Although my husband no longer lives in the same apartment complex, I still drive down Regency when I can and when I do, I always look over to his old apartment and reminisce the feelings that I had when we were dating.

I would probably tell other drivers to pay attention to the road, not their cell phones. We live in a large city and I see people texting and driving all the time, even though it is illegal, and it drives me crazy. Especially when they start swerving to another persons lane. I have a child who is almost always in the car with me, and I don't want to get into an accident because you aren't paying attention. It is my biggest pet peeve. For people just driving through our town, we have one of the top three ranking zoos in the world, The Henry Doorly Zoo, definitely stop and check it out, we have some amazing animals, rides, a large aquarium, and an Imax theatre there.

I would say that you can buy a car anywhere in this town. There are car dealerships on every corner. Whether you are looking for a new or used car we have every kind of dealer there is in our town. If you want buy here/ pay here, or financing it is possible. There are a lot of cars for sale on craigslist in and around our area, but I personally do not like to go this route, as I don't trust people I have never met very much. I watch too much reality crime TV, and reality court TV.

My favorite memories of driving in this city are from when I was younger. My husband and I met when we I was 17 years old. We both worked at the same restaurant. I saved up $500 to buy my first crappy little car that broke down all the time. My husband(we were just friends then) and a couple other coworkers and I would go driving around at night after work. We would listen to music really loud, and just drive all over town. We live in a fairly large city with lots of things to do, so sometimes we would drive downtown, and check out events going on, or drive to some of the parks that we have that have statues, and different historical meanings behind them. We would spend most of the night just driving around though, laughing, talking, and listening to music.

Dodge Street. It is goes from the river, which separates our town and state from the next town and state all the way to the next town. It starts at 1st street, runs through downtown night life, then midtown, past parks arenas, and all the way to something like 200th street before it becomes a new town. There are lots of shops you can stop at. It is a large street that gets very busy during traffic time, and even has a middle lane that changes which direction it goes depending on what day of the week it is and what time of day it is. It separates the north and south parts of town. One time a very long time ago, before I was born, there was even a tornado that traveled all the way up dodge street and tore up the town. It has some amazing skyscrapers that you can see right on Dodge Street.
