well buddy i was there(you weren't) and i took the test(and pasted) so you can take you bs flag and put it were you want it, because im not buying it... and your uncle ""worked"" at a dmv office,ok and that what state? was it my state mmm nope...., and wouldn't it be up the test giver to call the shot if it was ok to take the test or not????.. ya i do think so........ and also why would i want to lie about my test?,,, if i was going to lie i would you made alot better story than that.lol.......

sounds like your just starting scap to me... your post has no help to the kid, not even just to say good luck,,, like your just showing off ___ my truck with 6in lift, but im a good driver___ is that a horn i hear??

and last, you have no idea how many years ago it was, so maybe times have chaged????

 

I can't drive anything but my truck. I hate driving cars because my knees are always cradled around the steering wheel and you can't see over the cars around you. I did really well on the backing up and stuff last april because I have one of those funky metal tailgates for the 5th wheel which I can see through. The speed up and then stop super quick part kinda sucked in my truck because that thing is just so freaking heavy. Honestly I think that the superior visibility and acceleration of the truck would help more especially if you are nervous. But don't listen to me.... I'm 18 and didn't even have my license for a year before I got it suspended. I got pulled over by a georgia state trooper about 3 weeks ago going 115 in a 70 which is apparently wreckless driving...lol...those guys are sneaky!!!

 

hahaha yeah man im the same way.. im so cramped in a car.. my truck was in the tranny shop for a week and a half.. i had to drive an 05 eclipse.. fast fun car.. but i was soo uncomfortable. .and as for my dl's.. i took it in a 06 jeep wrangler 6 speed.. hahah talk about easy parking.. those things hooks so easy going into a spot.. and actually this ram is my first auto truck, and i must admit i miss stick because its just plain fun.. but so is auto... well i should say autos fun when theres a girl in the car and she doesnt have to crawl over the gear shift.. haha

 

So why do you have a blue lightbar on your truck?

I've noticed a few pics on here. My lights are hidden in the grill. My chief would poop a llama if one of us put a lightbar on the roof..

In which state? His, mine, or yours?

I took my motorcycle test in the rain, many many years ago. Before the OP was born I think.

What would it look like if you stalled it in moving traffic??? You just made yourself a road hazard.

 

Hey guys just thought I'd give an update!

I took it in the VW and passed with flying colors. The guy was surprised that I was driving stick and new how to do it, and I was the best he has had in a while. Apparently, he said he only drove manual and didn't know why it was so unpopular. Needless to say I agreed! . But basically we talked about old cars the entire time and before I knew it I was backed in my original parking spot and passed! It's great to finally have my license!

I'll probably be posting more with questions in the future. I would like to get a new exhaust for the truck and put some fog lights in those vacant holes in the bumpers...

Thanks again!

 

It's "unpopular" because most people are lazy. They'd rather just get in and go. "Point & Shoot"

Congrats, BTW.

 

Good glad to here that you passed with flying colors!!!! I can tell you why ppl dont like stick to much work. I wish I had a stick to beat on / learn.

 

people don't like "stick" cos it's too much effort, too difficult, or they're just too lazy. americans are so freaking lazy. i'm one of them, but i still like rowing my own gears!

i learned on an old bucket of junk, and that's pretty much what the fiance gets to learn on. told her she was getting a manual first go 'round b/c i'm not missing a good deal three years down the road because she don't know how to drive one!
