First time driving thrill - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do you guys remember your first time driving? What was it like? Did you hit anything?

Last night was my 'official' first time driving.. as in, there were other cars around me that my mother was afraid I was going to hit

Now my mother has a Buick Park Avenue... the car is so damn long it's like the Queen Mary.. so it was hard for me to parallel park. After 5 minutes of trying she suggested we go to an empty parking lot. So then I proceeded to gun it to 45 mph and my mother thought I was going to kill us, so she said "step on the break!" and... well you can imagine. Anyway, I got a big thrill out of going 'fast'. After an hour or so of just driving and practicing turning and stuff, she actually concluded I might be a decent driver. I don't get my permit until next May actually, but all my friends know how to drive, so she's teaching me to shut me up.

I still say run for your lives when I hit the road...

I remember the first time I drove on the highway, about 10 months ago(I turned 15 last July, turn 16 in about a month). I was PETRIFIED of all the cars. I LOVE driving outside of the city on the highway or on the interstate, but I hate the stop-n-go traffic. Haven't had a wreck yet though(crosses fingers). Our family ran a golf course for 9 years and I got good practice driving golf carts. I've also been driving on dirt roads for years.

I remember my first time driving. It was during drivers ed and it was me and another guy in the car. Anyway he was driving and the instructor told him to pass the car on his left. The kid threw it into park while we were on the highway! Needless to say it was scary and the car got totally jacked up.

I vaguely remember my first "official" time driving. It was pretty basic. I had been practicing at a high school parking lot for two days, and then I drove into real traffic. I didn't hit anything then or ever--while practicing.

I can understand the car you're working with. I practiced on my mom's Buick LeSabre. Gawd... it's an old person's car and my mom was only 41. She hated it though. But I hated it more, lol.

I drove around a cemetary and my high school parking lot for awhile. My first official time on the roads was when I drove home from the high school. I was nervous the whole time.. that's about all I can remember. I learned how to drive on a Buick too

it's hell for me. The thing is so damn long!

And in response to Cashodeen, my mom is only 45

but she's getting an Alero [sp?] in a month or so. A MUCH smaller car.

Very good.

My mom has a chevy lumina now... another huge one! She hates it too but my dad drives her cars a lot, so he picks them out. I'm surprised at her--she doesn't let him call the shots on anything else. Just the cars.

He does ask her if they're okay, and she says yes... even though she hates them.

erm ive never driven but me and my friend accidentally turned on my moms car one time. to this day i have no idea how that happened because we didnt even have the key.

Mr. Stefani · 06-23-2004, 06:36 PM

I've been driving for 6 months now,"Legally" since June 4th. Yeah I hate driving now. The excitment of having a new car and a license is gone. But lets see, i've hit many things in the past 6 months. I rammed this car infront of me in my car which I've had for not even 3 weeks going about 30. Not too much damage though

When I was first learning to drive I drove the opposite way down a one way street. That was pretty bad.

Brent88 · 06-23-2004, 06:40 PM

Our two vehicles are a 1995(I think) White Oldsmobile Ciera and a truck we bought in November(Black 2001 Ford Ranger). I love that truck.

I am getting me a car sometime around my birthday. Not sure what I want yet, but am looking at a smaller car.

Here's the car(this isn't the same car, but it looks EXACTLY like it):

and here's the truck

(Only difference is it has a back seat with two small windows and two seats that face each other).

Mr. Stefani · 06-23-2004, 06:42 PM

I learned how to drive on a SUV and this big "boat" car from drivers ed. Now I drive a small sports car. I like driving small cars better, much easier.

dawsongirl · 06-23-2004, 07:08 PM

Remember it....not really. It was 10 years ago.

I do remember my first few lessons with a manual transmission. I hopped that truck like a bunny.

at the one way street thing

I just got back and I managed to do a few 3-point-turns or whatever the hell you call them. Okay, so I almost hit someone's recycling bin, but I didn't. I did good.

This is so exciting!

EmoJoe · 06-23-2004, 07:44 PM
