I have this vision of you with the top down and a dramatic hat on your head, driving in the dark
DeleteThat about sums it up just right
DeleteI'll take the photos, if you will do the drive
Delete1. Early teens, on a farm.
ReplyDelete2. I dislike driving. It is boring, can be stressful and frustrating and my anger levels rise when I am surrounded by stupid drivers. I am happy when a good driver does the driving for me.
3. Yes, and double de-clutch.
4. Yes, a friend has one and let me drive it. I liked it.
5. Two plus joint ownership of three.
Double clutch, we had a truck that did that, I drove it a few times.
Delete1. 15. I didn't get my license until I was 16.
ReplyDelete2. I love driving. But I think I could do without if I lived in a bigger city such as NYC or WDC where there is decent public transportation,
3. I can. And I miss it.
4. I got one as a rental. Prius. It was ok.
6. Let me get out my abacus.....8.
When I went to automatic transmissions, I called it point and push.
Delete1. How old were you when you learned to drive? 17. I loved riding my bicycle and that was my preferred mode of transportation. Peer pressure pushed me along to get my license.
ReplyDelete2. If you didn't have to drive, would you stop driving? Probably but at this point in my life, driving is a necessity to visit kids and family and out-of-town friends.
3. Can you drive a manual transmission? Yes.
4. Have you driven an electric or hybrid car. No.
5. How many cars have you owned over the years? One that was just mine and seven that were co-owned with my hubs but designated as "my" car. He had company cars and "his" cars.
I didn't care if I got a license at 16 or not, my father insisted, then handed me keys to the pickup trucks.
Delete1. I was 16 when I learned to drive.
ReplyDelete2. I enjoy driving so will continue as long as I am able to do so safely.

4. No, I haven't driven an electric or hybrid -- yet.
5. I'm currently on my 4th car. I keep them for a long time.
About 10 years is the longest I have owned a car, a handful of them were only a year or so.

ReplyDelete2: If you didn't have to drive, would you stop driving? I'd stop owning a car but I still might rent one a drive from time to time.

I considered car sharing at one time, but most of the companies offering it have been short lived
Delete1. I got book larnin' at 17 in school. I didn't get real hands on experience until I was married at 19. It took me until 24 to get my license.
ReplyDelete2. I think I'm already at that point. My introvert has truly kicked in and I panic a little. BH takes me to doctor appointments. Retirement has its perks, heh.
3. Nope. No one could ever teach me. Too many things to think about at one time.
4. Nope. They're such silly little things
5. I've only been co-owner with BH, so 16 over close to 50 years.
Another person who has had a lot of cars over the years.

2: If you didn't have to drive, would you stop driving? YES!
