good morning!
today my mind was wandering back through the years, as is common for me while i'm doing the chores each morning. so for today's Question of the Day......
let's talk about driving and related!
How old were you when you learned to drive?
Do you remember what car you learned to drive with (for example, buick, ford, or sedan, station wagon, etc)?
Any humorous or scary stories about while you were learning to drive?
i'll start!
i was 16 years old when i started learning to drive -- the minimum age in NY State (at that time) to obtain a learner's permit was 15. i learned to drive with my parents Plymouth station wagon (automatic transmission), blue with some sort of fake wood-looking panels along the sides of it.
two things stick out in my memories of learning to drive. that the hardest part of learning to drive for me was learning to parallel park.
and that if i started feeling stressed during a driving lesson, i'd then start to jerk the steering wheel slightly -- tense up and lose the ability to smoothly steer, and kind of steer in little jerks one way and then the other.
my favorite part was doing 3-point turns -- i just loved that, and found it really easy to learn.
i learned to drive manual transmission/stick shift about 10-ish years later, when i bought my second car.
how about you?
