[onehung]

Started when I was 15. liscensed for car/motorcycle at 16. Light commercial liscensed at 17. Military liscense at 19.
My first vehicle was a susuki 550, Traded that in for a Vw jetta.
A couple of escorts
mercury capri with the 302
pontiac sunbird
chevy vans x 2
toyota 4x4
I've owned a couple of others, but I forget.

Fastest by car,,150 in a 69 camaro with a 327.
By bike,, 135 ,140 on a kz 1000 with nitrous.
Drove from California to NH in a 3 week trip when I first got out of the army.

(just drove back from east bumfuck new jersey) New yorkers don't understand the whole keep right except to pass concept, I noticed.

Only had 1 accident so far. When I was taking my driving test, I got rear ended at a stop light.

Or Pennsylvania drivers either

My first car was at 14, it was a 65 VW Type1 for free.. And I sold it. Then I got my license at 17.
Inherited a Ford F-150, Red, and I added a moonvisor. Crashed it (ask Danked.. He was there)

Then there was an 86 Audi 5000, which I managed to get two tickets with, going 78 on Route 78 (Back when the speed limit was 55) Sold it.

Next was a 88 Volvo 740 Sedan.. two more tickets, smashed passenger doors and a blown engine later, I sold it.
Now it's another 93 Volvo Wagon with 3 accidents in her, but you couldn't tell it.

I've driven from Darien Lake, NY to Limestone, Maine. North Jersey to Virginia to Florida. NJ to Wisconsin and Indiana(Ahh.. I miss touring)

Remind me not to drive on the same roads as you.

learned at 15 on a chevy cavalier, drove that and a ford aerostar (probably my biggest) in high school.
had a 93 civic hatchback in college which my sister took over when i moved up here, she totalled it within a year
oh, also drove eric's accord, which he's gotten up to over 120 on the back roads of the apalachicola national forest. then a ford ranger, which used way too much gas for these parts, so we got rid of it and then i got my

crxsi, 87, had 190k+ miles on it. the first big thing that i totally owned outright all by myself, $1100. it died a couple months ago, bottom fell out
now we have a shitty saturn sc2. it's very comfy but soooooooo slow. and also automatic...

i hate driving automatics. my civic and crx were both stick, now when i drive the saturn i don't know what to do with my right hand and left foot, plus it never changes gears when i want it too

farthest i drove was from south fla to charleston south carolina to spend thanksgiving with eric. left right after working from 7am to 4, took about 12 hours because i hit traffic and fog at the ga border, then spent the last hour of the trip on a tiny foggy back road in sc with swamp on both sides waiting for a dear to jump out and leave me dead or stranded... that was fun

What? Is it wrong to do 80 to 90 to and from work everyday. I hate driving a half hour. :thumbs-up:

:crackhead:

He crashes a lot.

Almost as much as I do.

I got my license at 16....a long time ago :lol: Learned on stick and only drove stick until about 5 years ago. Cars I've had/driven:

80-something Subaru Coupe/Hatchback/Wagon
'86 Hyundai Excel
'90 Ford Escort
'92 Isuzu Amigo
'92 Ford Probe
'94 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer
'96 Pontiac Grand Prix
'00 For Explorer XLT
'01 Ford Taurus

Just bought my first motorcycle about a month ago......haven't taken it over 50 yet :disappointed:

Fastest in a car........I've hit 120 - 130 a few times...the first time being in that '86 Excel (yes, part of it was downhill, plus it was 2 am and there was nobody on the road so I have plenty of open highway in front of me)

Longest trip? Either to Maine or to Montreal.....both about the same time/distance (6 hours/300+ miles)

Drove a full size motorcross bike at 10. Only got it into 2nd gear once, and got yelled at for it.
Drove a farm tractor at 13 just for fun.
Drove a few go-carts too.
Took driver's ed at 16 and got my license at 17.
Never been in an accident. Haven't put a scratch on any car I've driven, despite being accused of having a lead foot.

Never learned to drive stick. Stick sucks in the stop and go of the city.
Never drove anything bigger than an oldsmobile.
