VERY FIRST TIME!!!!!
I drove Mater under his own power today!!!!! First time ever......
Had to get him out of the barn, so I drove him up the driveway in front of the house....
Used a wire through the firewall for a throttle... little tricky steering with one hand.
ABSOLUTELY NO tracktion with NO weight in the back..
Like a KID again...

WARNING: Buckets (including plastic milk boxes, pop cartons, and pails) will buck you off when used as a temporary seat. You don’t have to ask how I know that. 
Nice maiden voyage, good on ya mate.

YEee Haaawwwww
Yes, need to get that cat litter pail upholstered And it was a bit precarious..
I put the headlight grill on to keep it out of the way and getting banged up.
It would (will) be a LOT easier when I get the gas peddle hooked up...
But it was a GREAT milestone...
