Well, guys. DMV was less painful than I expected.
Under a half hour and I was done. And I saw someone who took their test right before me there in line right before me.
Somehow my license says it doesn't expire until 2014?
Anyways I'm off to visit my grandparents and earn a few quick brownie points.

Seriously? Holy cow. I thought these things were only good for like 2 or 3 years til you had to renew them. I guess I was wrong. I don't have to renew mine til I'm 22. Good deal as far as I'm concerned.
So how's everyone here today?
Aside from Moose. I already know how she's doing.

That's kind of like what they used to do years ago to initiate the rookies. In the winter time when it's cold and everybody's using their heat in the cruisers, the older guys would wait until you parked your car and left it for a while. They'd go get a rag and soak it down with mace and stuff it up in your vents under the dash. You'd start the car and drive about a block or two before you were on the side of the road with tears streaming down your face and trails of snot hanging to the ground. Geez, it was awful....funny that is.
man that would suck, funny as hell though!In vanceboro Nc several years ago they parked a "dummy" (yes with dummy) car across the street from my house (Hwy 17 ran right in front of my house) someone put about 50 dunkin donut boxes and coffee cups outside drivers door. It was great. Then kids started throwing milk shakes, burgers etc at it when they learned it was bogus.Anyway one day they removed dummy car and put a real car with cop in it in its place kids came up on bikes and threw full school milk cartons at windshield not realizing real cop was inside. It was soooooo beyond funny seeing him flip light bar make "whoop" sound and jump out and tell bratz to FREEZE! Worth a million words had a pic been taken I would have been rich had I videoed.
Right on chicky, Im pumped for ya! Im a tire/rim guy and have been all my life, I get excited whenever I get tires and rims!

They are good till you are 65 here in Az but I think you are supposed to go get your picture redone every 10-12 years. I kinda like the pic I have on it now so I don't know if I will get the picture redone in a few years or not.

Up here we have to renew our drivers license every year, 25 bucks a year(thats if you have no tickets or points deducted). Since I have my 1a, I have to get a medical every 4 or 5 years. Im not sure how long they keep the photo for.
I should scan my license and show you guys my photo its hilarious. I just got off of a dirty dusty 13 hour service call changing some rock truck tires (least I think it was rock trucks) and had to sit and wait around for the issuer to call the head offic and blah blah blah to figure out something on my license, and I wasnt a happy camper! (and it shows!)

Ed if I want to move it along quicker than 20 I've got to put my foot in that skinny pedal and keep it there. It's not like a SD where you can just kinda idle along at 40. You've got to keep it HAMMERED.
I could get up to 50 from a dead stop quicker in the old GMC 1ton mason dump stick shift with a plow hanging off the front we had quicker than this little Jeep can.
Plus this thing is LOUD. But it's not a good loud like the rumble of a 7.3
It's whiny loud like a gasser wound right out.
Oh and I was at soccer not-practice this afternoon and went straight from there to DMV so I'll be dealing with a bright red face on my license til I'm 22.
Fortunately the lady I was dealing with was really nice. Once she took my picture she had me come around the counter to check it out to make sure it was ok.
The guy on the next counter over didn't seem to be very nice at all.
