Exclamation New kid on the block

Hey there, my name's Patrick, you can call me Pat or anything I don't care. I'm a guy, I am 13 years old(almost 14 ) I can't wait to get my license and get my first Dodge. You may be thinking, "Hey, what the hell is a kid doing here? He hasn't driven.."
There, you are wrong. I've driven quite a few vehicles.

List:
'94 Ford Ranger
'77 Chevy Impala Caprice
'01 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport
'90 Oldsmobile 98
'91 Chevy Beretta
'82 Dodge Rampage
'07 Ford F-150
'99 Chevy Malibu
'10 Toyota FJ
'02 Chrysler Sebring
'67 Ford 250 Truck

So yeah. I've had my fair share of driving. In fact, it's my favorite thing to do. My favorite is the '82 Dodge Rampage "Ramlet". It's a four-speed four-cylinder manual. And it is awesome. It has the best shifter I've ever used, and it drives really nice. I actually pulled it out of the weeds with my cousin, and it started right up. Only needed a new fuel line. Here's picture proof.



Anyways, hello!

Welcome aboard Pat! Wow, you have driven 11 cars already and you are only 13. Where did you find all those rides to drive?

@vpnavy
Well, my great grandpa owns a car farm, with at least 200 classic cars there. He was particularly interested in Chevys, but he owned a few Dodges, including an old Ram 50, which had the motor ripped out. But a few things there are pretty fixable. And, my dad has worked at car dealerships his whole life, and the last one, my favorite in particular, was a Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge dealership. He assured me that he would teach me to drive soon, and then he let me drive his F-150 up and down our gravel driveway, which got me hooked. I've been a pretty calm driver until recently, I just don't do crazy things in front of Mom.. Like driving on pavement(a huge no-no according to her..), gravel-drifting, and hitting 51 on a straightaway(which was awesome!).

Outstanding MoparKid1997 - that makes sense. You be careful and don't **** off your mom!

@vpnavy -
Trust me, I assure I don't, she still thinks 20mph is too fast for me, and the fastest I went with her was 30-35. And the worst I do is drive with one hand on the wheel. On the other hand, with my cousin Keith, maybe a little bit over 50 and a short tire spin :P

Update: just drove my stepdad's Toyota FJ yesterday (aug. 15) down the road a few blocks. It was nice, considering I haven't driven for nearly two months. I still wish it was a manual tranny though.
