And the farmers in Saskatchewan feel they don't need either, let alone obey silly rules like stopping at lights and allowing pedestrians to cross.

And, seeing as where Hobbes posted a picture of his car, this is the kind of car I hope to get:
The one I want to get is the same colour, but it has different rims and, unless I'm mistaken, a different grille as it's an '89 and I think this one's a '90 or later...

I haven't gotten my license yet, I know how to drive, but I hate going to the DMV. And the cops they have who take the test- eek!
Oh and I just remembered what happened in a drivers education class once.
I wasn't there but one of my friends was and here's what happened.
There was about 30 students in the class, and 5 cars. It was the first time behind the wheel for a few of them, and one imparticular who had no idea what she was doing as it turned out. Apparently, she was driving along, going slow around the course and everything was fine, then she had to stop or something. Well instead of releasing her foot from the gas and putting on the brake, she hit the gas and accelerated to over 50 mph before finally slamming the brakes (while the she had her other foot on the gas I believe) and nearly hitting another of the cars on the course. Needless to say, the Instructor was both scared shitless and pissed off at the same time.

Makes sense, seeing as where Adam drives an Intrepid-class carship himself...

Yes, it's a Cavalier and yes, the one I want is manual.

The car that I have and have had since I started and probably will have will past graduation is similar to the picture Fabrux posted. It's a 4-door Cavalier and that same shade of blue.
Ziyal: In my defense, there wasn't much I could do to stop my friend from driving that fast. The brake and accelerator pedals were on his side of the car. Plus, he's really stubborn when it comes to friendly hints (like, "You may wanna slow down a bit before you put the car through the stadium and kill us all").
To be fair, I wasn't the best driver in drivers education either. I nearly wrecked the car and hurt everyone with the class that was with me. Why? I swerved to avoid birds that were in the middle of my lane. Our course, one of the girls in my class almost did the same thing. She almost hit a cow.

*smiles* I had a GREAT Driver's Ed teacher..... At one point, I put the car into a total skid going around a corner (It TRULY wasn't my fault, though I thought it was at the time!) and his only exclamation was "Whee! Let's do it again!" :-)
Moving past that though... My Spedometer goes up to 140 in the Honda, I think, but I know I've never gotten it past 120.... I tried, but it just wouldn't go... pleh.....

Remember in the other thread, when you asked, "Is it me or is it the car". After seeing that, I think it might be you.
Fastest I've ever driven a car was 110mph, on a stright country back rode, with no other cars around.

My car's speedometer goes up to an astounding 85 mph. The fastest I have ever driven my baby is 75 mph. Partly because I don't like to break the speed limit too much (the freeway by my house is 70 mph) and partly because I'm afraid anything beyond that will cause my car to explode. Speaking of my car...
That's my baby.

That didn't really explain anything, you know. So can anyone get away with one plate as long as he buys it from SC? Does he have to live there? Work there?
