Not my Dad's F-250
My highway/country driving is fine. I mess up sometimes while city driving. I'm sure I will be okay. If I remember correctly I scored a 100% on the written part. Just gotta remember the little stuff.

Funny story- When I took my driving test, he had me go down a one way street and then start to parallel park. As I start to park, a fire truck with lights and sirens wailing, come flying at me head on. Nowhere to go to, the instructor tells me, "drive up on the curb, spin around as quick as you can and get us out of here, I dont want to get stuck in the street while they are putting out a fire." So, as a whip a quick brody up on the curb, I'm thinking, well, I just failed this test. We start heading back to the office, and he says, "dont tell anybody I had you do that." Of course I said no problem. And he passed me. Only lost one point for hitting a turtle when I cut a turn a little to sharp.

Howdy... Just doing some more little honey do's and watching the Battle of the Bays (Tampa vs. Green Bay). About to head out & change the oil in the truck. Getting ready to take it up to the dealer for some new meats (tomorrow AM). Yes, believe it or not, my dealer had the best deal on the GoodYear Wrangler SilentArmors. Couldn't believe it!! Out the door for about $750.

I remember when I took my test, the instructor made me take a left at a busy intersection with no arrow. Keep in mind this was in the middle of downtown Denver, on a Friday afternoon in gridlock when everyone was rushing home from work. Everyone kept running the yellow light, so I couldn't go after the light changed. It took about 10 light cycles before I was able to get through the light..and he docked me points for it.
Good thing was, I didn't have to parallel, we couldn't find any open parking spaces.

It would be a roll of the dice on a driving test,,, all you coulda done in downtown denver was roll it to the center of the intersection, wait for the red, haul a$$ thru when it was clear. It might have cost you, might have been what he was looking for. If people drove as they normally do on driving tests I am convinced drivers test administrators would be a least filled job in this world.

You want to hear about small town Wisconsin? I put up a steel building in Phelps, population 600 up in the NE corner. When my crew and I showed up you'd have thought the circus had just come to town. We were there about 2 weeks. I winked at a married woman (never will again) and she ended up divorced. Chased me all over the country for about 2 years. A real sad story. Gentlemen, never wink at a married woman. Especially a good looking one that has spent her entire life in a town with not even one stop light.
