The main reason for this reticence, and the aversion in the first place, is because unpopular girls don't have their licenses. They have many explanations at-the-ready to rationalize this, though truly it is just because they are afraid of taking the driving test. But do not point this out to them in conversation. If you do so, they will quickly change the subject and go on a tirade about how no one listens to good music, or knows the screenwriter of their favorite film.
Instead, let them tell you why they can't drive:
-They can always just take the bus or ride their bike (and if they can't ride a bike, as some very unpopular girls can't, then they can always ask their grandma for a ride).
-They're going to live in New York so they don't need to drive anyway.
-They can't stand practicing with their parents, or vice-versa.
-If they do, their parents/siblings/friends will exploit the relationship to get rides.
Nevertheless, not-driving is very frustrating for unpopular girls when it prevents them from seeing their favorite obscure-bands-with-long-names, though that does ultimately give them another thing to complain about (what else would they need a livejournal for?).

I'm glad that I'm illiterate, or I might be offended by this one.
