So I just took Jr out for her first drive of a car (edit for for 1tc)

[Howzit]

Lawsy.

The end.

[1stTimeCaller]

I'll pass on the joke.

Did you get whiplash? Does she want to kill you right now? We're going to need details.

[Howzit]

No whiplash. No wanting to kill me. But this was on roads with not much traffic. It's gonna be a while before I let her out on regular Dallas roads.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

I remember the first time my Dad let me drive. It was in his brand new sports car that he was in love with.

I remember screaming. And darkness. And lots of screaming.

I blocked out the rest.

Like I was gonna let her drive MY car...

Lil Baja took a driving class. On her third lesson in the car, she drove on 75 and Bush. :0
Having someone else teach them has worked out for us, they seem to listen better.

I learned to drive on the farm, and my dad had a standard. Man that sucked.

Holee carp... 75? My hope is Jr NEVER gets on 75...

She's actually in a driving class now and goes out on the road next week. I agree, that's probably going to work well, but she got her permit this week and I figure it's gotta happen sooner or later.

And I'm sure it saved you from having a few heart attacks as well. ;)

I'll never forget the look on my dad's face when he tried to teach me to drive for the first time. I think it was the most frightening experience he'd ever gone through... including the Vietnam war! :D

:D

Yeah I drove standards in the beginning. In fact, I had a wreck the first day I had my license...happened while racing with my best friend. :D

Not that Jr knows that. I revel in the multiple levels of hypocricy in which I find myself these days.

[H8HOGS]

I remember the first time my boyfriend let me drive. It was in his brand new sports car and he was in love with me.

I remember screaming. And darkness. And lots of screaming.

Was this a date or driving or both?

[BajaOklahoma]

My mother tried to teach me how to drive her old car, a 3-on-the-tree.
When I was in college, I bought an old car with a 4-on-the-floor. My future husband taught me how to drive it. There is a hill in OKC, on 6th street or 10th street - the stop light is at the crest of the hill. So he has me drive up the hill, the light turns red - and it is a miracle that the car behind me didn't get front-ended.

[royalfan5]

I remember when I was 12 and my Uncle decided that I was old enough to drive the old truck on county roads to haul bales. Good times.

[jk the sooner fan]

my dad taught me how to drive a standard in his 280zx.......tightest clutch ever

LOTS AND LOTS of cursing

at me

[1stTimeCaller]

My mom taught me to drive when I was 11 in my dad's Probe GT. They were tired of me always asking them to move the car out of the driveway so I could shoot hoop. One of the benefits of growing up in Chickasha was that I started driving part time when I was 14.

[LilSooner]

My dad would let me set on his lap and steer coming home from Dallas to Justin when I was 8 years old. It wasn't until I was 15 and my grandpa would let me drive to basketball practice in the mornings.

I hope to never have to teach my unborn children to drive.

[royalfan5]

When I was three, I accidentally put my aunts car in gear, and backed it into a fence. I liked to play with steering wheels at that age, and the wheel locked up, and I knocked it into gear in the driveway while trying to get it unlocked.

He probably should've given you an orange crate to sit on too.



I did some backing up when I was young, then when I was 13 or so got to actually drive for a few stretches on the way to Colorado. The most nerve-wracking was when I was 10 or 11 and he'd have me shift from the passenger seat. That was an adventure.

Ha ha, very funny. It was a phone book.

[IronSooner]

Ha ha, very funny. It was a phone book for all of China.


Fixed.

Oh that's it. . .heel kicks next time I see you. They may even be ankle kicks cause I've been lifting weights.
