-Didn't take a driving test.... Except for when I got my motorcycle endorsement, in which case I rode a kawi zr7.

-1982 jeep cj7 renegade. Learned at age 9, when my dad was trying to teach my 15yr old sister. She couldn't get it. When it was my turn I held myself on the edge of the seat from the steering wheel, and just drove.

-1982 chevy silverado half ton diesel. It was dropped, straight piped, 15x10 aluminum wheels, bed cover, stereo system, and purple neons inside. First truck to get some in, as well!
