[Guest Rick-rat]

Took test in 1968 when i turned 17, with my brothers 1967 Nova SS 327, 4 speed. Had been driving myself to work 2 years prior in a 1952 Ford, 6 cyl.3 on the tree

[Rhapakatui]

Got my license just before 17. 1999. Never took a driving test.

[hitch]

The year was 1972, I was 16, passed the test 1st time. I'd been driving farm equipment and the family pickup around local roads since I was in 2nd grade. I had already owned my crap brown 65 Ford Falcon 4 door, since I was 15. The car had remnants of Reddy Kilowatt on the doors,

 

it was an old power company car. My father being very car and teen boy wise, commanded me to purchase it. Slow, cheep insurance and extremely reliable. Needless to say, my buddies called it my BCC, "Birth Control Car" as any respectable girl would never be caught dead in it. Worked my butt off and bought a 70 mustang fastback before I got out of HS. Bought a used 75 280z in 78 and never appreciated it. Tore it up and sold it for next to nothing.

... but I did not get my license until 1987.. It was a new DMV at the time and there was hardly anyone there. This was before the unwashed hordes took over! Since then, no one has learned how to drive!! :lol:

 

Classic.

[q-tip]

it was 2005 i was 18, took the test in a 77 ford granada 2dr... the guy giving the drive test asked me if i was planning on sailing with that yacht :lol:

[KELMO]

Looks like I might be in the "old fart group"....1979 I can't remember what the score was cuz well, I'm old but I did pass first time around. It was in a 1964 Slodsmobile Jetstar 4 door sedan (land barge), also the first car I had purchased on my own. Learned to drive in dads 69F250 with a 3 on the tree....I now own that truck

[Ken_B]

Got my lic. a couple weeks after my 16th birthday in 2006, got a 90, 10 points docked for getting to far away from the curb while backing around a corner. Took the test in my grandfathers 1970 F250 Camper Special, NO power steering, compound low 4 speed with an 8 foot bed and old 360 V8 power. The instructor was pretty surprised when I paralell parked that thing. Took the test in Pt. Townsend Wa, intructor was an old hippy lady, dont think she liked the old gas guzzling Ford. 1st car was an 88 olds Cutlass, sure miss that thing.

[darin620]

Took my test in my dads 77 ford ltd. I passed with a 100 but the instructor was not impresed with the car. It did not come with keys when he got it so he had put a push button ignition between the sets. And has cb radios, scaners and other such equipment in it with about 6 long antenas on the back of it.

[RedBanner]

Got my farm licence in 98 I was 14, there was no test, I did have to take a driving test once, at the dmv on powell. It was The first time I ever drove an auto matic, I stuffed the braked with my left foot, looking for the clutch, passed me anyways. I was 17 then driving my aunts mercury sable, couse my datto would never have passed inspection.

[fastdadd]

i took my driving test in 88 after driving the 620 farm truck for around 4 years or so...it was in gresham and now that i think of it i was driving a second generation 510 and got rear ended coming off the freeway heading back to dmv

[Dirttrack510]

I got my license in 1985, I got my motorcycle license first and took the test on on 70cc Honda Passport scooter. :rofl: lol... I got my car license a few months later and took the test in a 1983 Mercury Capri :sick: (looks like a Mustang). I drove that car for a couple years, but it kept eating transmissions. Catalyst sat right against the trans oil pan and kept cooking the fluid. Got my first Datto 3yrs ago and I've been dirt racing with em and street driving em ever since. :D

[ohio510]

[chester]

Lets see I was 17 so it was I think december 2007. I was in Puyallup and I was driving my dads 94 pathfinder. then after the first of the year I got my 87 200sx

[The Taterhead]

It was 1994. A week after i turned 16 in Pelham, Alabama. The instructor was a woman affectionately known around town as "boufant". Hair was about 5 inches tall & everybody said she was a hardass. I had no problem. Tested in a friends 1990? Cutlass p.o.s. Later that day we took a curve on a dirt road too fast. Did a 180 & slammed into the embankment on the opposite side of the road. Fun times. A week later I got my first Maxima. Pure awesomeness circa 1983

[Boaty]

First licensed 10-30-2003. I was 16.

Drove the same car I've had for 10 years now, right here in Grants Pass. :)

[albyneau]

These two had licenses done in pencil and parchment... :blink: A copy was kept in a Rolodex! :o :lol:

 

Pencils hadn't been invented yet. Common inks were made of lampblack (soot) and gum arabic....:cool:
