Yay, permit!

[Spilk188]

Finally got my 'Instruction Permit' so now I am able to legally drive (given i have a parent in the passenger seat)

Its alot easier than I thought it would be (in traffic I mean, ive driven on back roads and stuff for years). But what sucks about washington is that when you get your license at 16 there are a TON of restrictions.

You can't drive anyone under the age of 20 unless they live in your household (no friends in the car unless theres a parent in the car too).

Cant drive from 1am-5am (not a bad rule)

Have to have your permit 6 months to get your license. (Since i got mine on the 9th i have to wait til march 9 to get my license even though my birthday is feb. 28)

After you have had your license 6 months you can drive up to 3 of your friends. No more or you get your license taken away for a year or til your 18, whichever comes first.

Bunch of other little stupid ones that I cant remember.

But on a lighter note, driving is real fun. Still havnt gotten the Maxi running yet, so i have been driving my mom's LHS. BIG car. lol

I have my first of 10 instructed drives in my drivers ed class on tuesday, Wish me luck!

[Mr1der]

man, Washington sucks...

what you getting to learn on?

[Spilk188]

I already have my dad's old '85 nissan maxima, just needs a new transmission :P

edit:Oh, you meant for drivers ed.

Surprisingly its a white Pontiac Grand Am

[Mr1der]

actually I meant until you had a driveable car. For you sake, I hope it's a minivan, not to be mean or anything, but you'll learn to appreciate any kind of vehicle and most minivans have killer understeer...

I drove a '95 Lumina 3.8 minivan for my entire high school life...

[Spilk188]

I have until march, so this winter me and my stepdad (former mechanic) will prolly put the transmission into the car.

There is a wrecking yard that has the part, were trading this wrecked car we have for it.

Yeah, ive heard minivans are nice to drive as first cars. If i were to get one I think id want a Mazda MPV like Jesda's mom has.

[Mr1der]

haha!, if you look through corksport, I think you can find a turbo motor that will go into those.

Another by product of my searching to make a badass ford escort gt...

[crzycav86]

Heh.. I remember my first days of driving. Lots of fun.. good memories..(although it was only a few weeks ago)..

Word of advice: Don't go in there thinking you're a macho race car driver[not saying that you think that way]. Learn things like the rest of the guys, and take your time. Practice as much as you can, and learn as much as you can.

[Touchdown038]

Sorry to hear you have to go through that graduated license crap... They started that law about two months after I got my license in Washington... mwahaha.

[Mr1der]

I learned how to drive from video games. I think it's why I'm a sucky driver, damn games and being unrealistic...

[fiznat]

congrats man, be careful!

[Cold_Zero]

Two biggest mistakes the state of Indiana has made?

1. Giving me a drivers license2. Giving me a conceal carry permit

Lord help us all

[nlzmo400r]

damn, over here until one turns 17, he can't drive past 11pm, other than that all of the friends and such are welcome, as long as they all have seatblelts

[Cold_Zero]

If the great state of Indiana saw with I did in and with my Carpice when I just got my lisence. I would still be suspended.

[Mr1der]

I need to get my permit....

edit: hey Cold, I feel kinda dumb for insisting the new G36 rifle was the G33, don't know what I was thinking there, must have been the whole 93 and 53 thing with all their other other .223 rifles, damnit, I should know my guns better than that!

[Mr1der]

I don't even remember what kind of dumb rules TN has concerning minors driving, probably because they don't apply to me though...

[Cold_Zero]

It was a hot and long day. When I got home 3:30 am I remembered what the G3 was.

[Mr1der]

true, I didn't drink anything other than caffeinated stuff that day either...

[Cold_Zero]

I got my renew in the mail less than three weeks. Not bad.

[krazy skwerel]

TN has that gay graduated license crap. My sister is going through it. right now. LOL her first car is a damn 240sx. I had to work to get mine damn it. Of course I was the one who found her the car, but originally I wanted it as a parts car.
