Words cannot express how I feel.....
 

Ok, let's start at the beginning. About two years ago my brother in law got a really, really good deal on a really rundown '86 mustang convertible. He got it for under $2000, and only wanted it for the summer. He put a alot of work into it(him and his brother did it all themselves) and it runs really well, it just needs a new paint job, and is pretty damn rusty in parts. Well, anyways, because him and my sister are having a baby(due June 5), they were gonna try to sell it. they figured they didn't need it anymore and they could use the money. Then on friday, while they were cruising around in it, the radiator basicly exploded. It needs a whole new radiator. He didn't feel like putting it in and spending the money and going through the trouble of it if he's gonna sell it anyway, so when I went over there today, he told me I could have it. For free. I just need to put a radiator in it. Wooooohooooo! This is probably the happiest day of my life.

Damn! That's awesome! Hey, it's a fixer-upper, but still! Free car!

Ka-Ching :D

Oh, and Dog Soldiers is on sci-fi right now, so that makes the day even better. :P

Congratulations.

WAY TO GO!!!

My hand me down car is a brick compared to yours.... :dead:

Wow, that's really awesome! Congradulations! :)

....I want a car...

Nice. I'm saving up for the Batmobile. '63 model, of course.

Are you even old enough to drive, cqb?

Uhm.. don't you mean 66? Batman wasn't on TV in 1963.

He may have built it 3 years in advance or he used a '63 model

All feasable... :ohwell:

No... Voltron's just an idiot.

And I thought my CardBoard Barney Bag Car was a sweet deal

If by old enough to drive you mean do I have my liscence, then no....I do have my learners permit tho, and I'm taking drivers ed. :D

How do you get a license in the US?

In most states, you can obtain a driving permit at 15 (which allows you to drive only when a trustworthy adult is present) and you can apply for your full drivers licence at 16. Written tests are required for both, and a driving test is required for the license.

And what does that cost?

Actually you get your learners permit at 16, and can take the test for your liscence a few months later as long as you have taken drivers ed, etc. And then you have to wait another six months before you can drive with "peers" in the car.

I never took a driver's test and I am licensed. What the hell?

It varies state to state. There's no real set guidelines.

Isn't it the law to always wear a ten gallon hat and carry a loaded six shooter in Texas? Add Lady Liqour to the mix and I wouldn't want to administer a driver's test to you...no way in hell.

Yeah, I ride a horse everywhere and drive cattle all day long.

good deal, good news for you...
i was afraid you were getting up to a point of bad news..
i know what its like to need a car.... still do.

Thats really awesome, now you will have the second best car of all the technodrome members. :evilgrin: :P

Ok, I bet a lot of you have better cars then me, but I love it.

No offense, but I can't stand SUV's. So Nyah! My car's better!

I do enjoy my red 1990 Toyota Celica GT...

Oh...well...I cant stand convertables! I mean honestly who wants to drive around in the sun with the top down picking up like 20 chicks when you can drive around and look like a soccer mom? 8)

Actually, it really does all depend on the state. Here you can get a permit at 15, or a school/work permit at 14. for those we have to pass a written exam.

at 16 we get our POP liscense, wich is basicly a middle step between permit and full liscense, by passing a drivers exam and eye test.

then at 17 we get our full liscense, and only have to pass the eye exam.
