holyshit dude are you from Greenwich? Thats where I lived for 7 years and everyone there drove daddy's AND mommies Lexus, BMW, mercedes, or volvo. A lot of them even had there own...

edit: OH YEA I got my learners permit a month ago, at first your like YES I CAN DRIVE. then your parents are like "Hey you drive" and your like fuck no you drive cuz in reality driving is a pain in the ass. Too many signs everywhere! I think we should get rid of all the traffic laws and anything painted on the road and just let it be complete chaos. Who ever survives will be crowned KING of the road... obivously it will not be a queen

I have to laugh at all the crap you kids have to go through to get a license these days.

I had to take a drivers ed course, but it was offered free at the High School. Of course all the elitest bitches and preps took 'private' drivers ed. Then it was a 6 month period when you had your temps. After 6 months, you schedule an appointment with the DMV for a 2 part test, written and practical. I aced the written and blew completely through the practical. I was such a 1337 driver the instructor told me to go back to DMV without doing a Y-turn or Parallel parking!

My dad used to have a Piper Aztec PA 23-250F. Familiar with it Martyr?

He sold it and got a Sailboat, the boats more fun to party on

I don't know what the laws here are anymore, but for a Learner's Permit all I had to do was take a multiple choice test at DMV (it was on a touch screen computer too!), and for my Liscense it was the High School Driver's Ed class they forced you to take as half of your GYM grade in 10th, and then I took Behind the Wheel with the School (could've taken it with a Driving school or the DMV too, but the school was cheaper!) and bam, I was done.

ROFL mart, I'm with you!

As for the driving thing, you guys have a weird system...

In AL, you must have had a driving permit, which can be issued to ANY 15 year old at ANY point while they are 15. This enables them to drive with a parent or guardian at ANY time during the day or night. To get a driver's license, you must have had a permit for 6 months, minimum.

We take driver's ed in High School, (costs $60 to take, everyone must pay.. (gas, oil, repairs, insurance), but that only gives you an X% discount on your insurance.
