Have fun while it lasts. I remember when I got my license, a year ago. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, being able to drive by myself and go places.

After the first two months.. it becomes something you don't want to do. You won't feel like driving anywhere. And what made my situation worse, is I had my license before a lot of people, so I was always being asked for rides.

These days, the only enjoyment I get out of driving, is doing wreckless things. IE: Hitting corners hard on backroads, racing, etc.

Be careful, and congratulations.

if you have a car you really enjoy, driving is great. congrats! some of my happiest, most stress free times are when im on the back roads with my tops off on a sunny day with some good loud music. nothing beats it.

be careful.. and learn to drive defensively.

ya...welcome to life. lol

[ridehonda400ex]

I'm one of the younger in my class but more mature than most. I obey the speed limits and I drive deffensively. And yeah welcome to life is right but i've been paying for most of my stuff for a while now. Its not because I have too, or bc my parents are bad, theyre actually really good to me its more just because I want to and I wanna do things and I dont expect my parents to pay for everything in my life.

i liked driving when i first got my license too. then i started liking it less when i realized how much it sucks having a lowrider as a daily driver...specially with the crappy roads around here, have to slow down for every little bump so i dont bend a rim or something...

I got a 2004 F-150, its only 2wd but thats fine since it still takes like 120 dollars to fill it up, but I only 10-20 dollars in at a time, but no need to worry about bottoming or bending a rim;)

Lucky. In KY I got my Permit at 16. Then had to wait 6 months and got my intermediate (restricted license) then had to wait another 6 months and was able to get my full license.

You don't really 'drive' until you're 16 1/2 here.

I hate driving. The pressure of knowing I have to pay for anything that gets damaged makes me feel sick to my stomach everywhere I go. lol.

All this talk about permits, graduated drivers licenses, etc is funny to me.

Here in NJ when I went to get mine you had to have the permit for 2 weeks and then you took the test. Test was on a closed course and its so easy its pathetic. The guy who did mine said after a minute, skip everything else and parallel park and thats it lol.

Course now we have that graduated program. Permit at 16, license at 17, full license at 18. Not sure if it works any better imho.

yea, im in the process of getting another truck now. Papaw is buying me one. I dont really like the fact of him giving it to me, but he says that hes going to since he paid for all the years of my brothers college, and doesnt have to pay for mine since i am getting it paid for through fafsa and what not. im still going to repay him the most i can when i sell my truck and everything.
