I'm getting a car!!!
 

For Free!!!!, i can't even drive yet.
My aunt is moving to Jersey and is giving me her car, its not a great car, it's an old Rover, it works though. And it passed it's MOT last month so i know it's fine to drive.
This means i will have to get a previsional license and do some lessons, at least until i am good enough to have my mum or grandfather take me out and teach me the rest.
It's expensive i know, but I'm hoping my dad will pay for the majority of the insurance. I'm pretty excited!, i get it in May!

This got me thinking?, what do you guys drive? do you drive?, how hard is it to learn?, did you pass yr test the first time? What do Thurston/Kim/Lee and Steve drive??

i have been able to get my licence for 3 yrs now, but i havnt even done anything about it..iv never driven a car before. I feel awkward with the idea of doing it, i dont feel old enough even though im 19

well done on scoring a free car

Congratulations screamingskull!

I haven't taken the test yet but I practice a lot with the car that or dad bought us to practice with. You'll have a great time learning I swear. Driving a car isn't hard but dealing with all the rules and learning how to drive on a busy street however is quite hard.
Anyway I hope you'll have a lot of fun with your new car.

That's great. A whole new world is about to open up to you! Once you get over the initial fear and get into the swing of things, driving is a piece of cake. You'll be whizzing up and down the M40 before you know it!

I drive a VW Polo. And it took me three goes to pass my test.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Thurston drives a Volvo estate. Is anyone willing to back me up on that one?

mee too!, im 18 and it still feels like a very grown up thing to be doing.

im glad im not the only one, i cant explain the exact feeling, but when i see other people my age i feel like they look 19, but i still feel like im 16 and feel awkward doing things like driving a car

I couldn't live without a car.

there is no real form of public transportation in oklahoma other than busses and I'll be damned if I ride with those losers!

as of monday, I've been driving for 20 years. :(

i have lots of friends that can drive and have cars, some are good drivers some are BAD, and when they give me lifts its like its another person driving the car, like i can't even imagine that my friends are at the age when they can do this leagally. I suppose thats why ive put it off, that and it looks fucking SCARY!

you live in oklahoma!, very kool, you must have seen the flaming lips like a million times!, or is that just my perception of alternative music lovers living in oklahoma?

yeh i know exactly what you mean, its all the same for me too. Stupid minds:fuckyou: :D

You'll be amazed, screamingskull, at how quickly you stop worrying about all the things that you have to do to drive a car and start worrying about how little effort it actually takes. It doesn't take time long for the time to come when driving a car becomes a process of getting in and making sure it's always pointing in the right direction. Your feet will do their stuff instinctively, as will the hand that you use for changing gear.

i will have to get a bumper sticker like this

I've already told you this!

remember the conversation about how you should NOT try to sneak into Wayne's backyard due to dragondog??

I do!

then again, I have a pornographic memory. it's mostly random trash, but sometimes there's a plot.

and yeah....I guess you could say I've seen the Lips a few times....

oh yeah, did you have a different avatar then?, sorry i forgot. :(
did you ever see them when they were really young?, and wayne was really cute.

there are some great bumper stickers out there.

what happens if you live in Portland, Oregon and have pro bush bumper stickers on yr car.


ha ha ha ha ha

i love to drive on empty country roads a fast car with a stick shift. on sunny days. with the sunroof open. and melt-banana on the stereo.

i detest traffic especially with stupid people on the road, fucks who can't get their hands off their faces while driving (get a bluetooth phone or a headset, or use the speakerphone, you fucking fuck). i dislike automatic trasmissions.

where i live they use to use camels as transport, but the thing with camels is when they turn around they have to do a big 180 so they made the roads really wide, so we have single lane roads the size of 4 lane roads.

driving whilst on yr mobile is illegal over here but people still do it, the car has a sunroof! and a tape player, i will have to start including myself in the mix tape trade thread. Or you guys can just send me some!

sunroofs fucking rule!

have lots of fun

for local errands i use a bicycle though-- 100% sunroofed

all i can say is the roads aint safe no more! haha and congratulations also its great getting stuff for free. what you going to call it?
