dear all,
i think it's a very interesting and perfect topic for me to share a little of my background. i learned to drive when i was 10 and it was a rolls royce silver spur. the car was a little too big but it was ok. i just jumped to a porsche slantnose. i have to admit i'm a very picky person. i didn't really like the porsche's style, then i went to the garage for the lambo countach. anyway, i kept changing and i lost count already. oh, one last thing, my first car...i should say my first group of cars are porsche, lambo, ferrari, aston martin, maserati, rolls royce, bentley, mercedes, bmw and many more.
regards,
johd

I responded in the original "daughter" post of tachyon. But a little more here. I learned in a '47 Ford pickup that was the errand runner on my Grandpa's dairy farm. I started when about 11 and I could actually get out on the roads in the local area. We commuted between the "town" house and the farm, a distance of 25 miles one way in Grandpa's '49 Plymouth. Part of the way we were on paved roads that had actually had a center stripe. My Grandpa put that center stripe right between his eyes and it was always a thrill ( ) coming up over the many hills we traversed between the two locations. Every once in awhile we met another vehicle but most often they might have been a horse drawn plow or harrow. When I got my permit at 14 I was pretty skilled on the roads we traveled, but my first foray on a bridge was quite a trip. Apparently I tried to compensate for my Grandpa?s habit of taking his half out of the middle and I decided the best place to be was to place the chrome bumpers up against the right hand side and see how many sparks would fly. Mighty long bridge too, over five miles and I never came off the side on that first trip. I checked the bumpers as soon as I got off and lo and behold a lot of chrome was missing. On the return trip I managed to only hit the right side of the bridge for a couple hundred feet. I believe I have improved since then.
