Well now I'm 100% official to drive. Except that's 100% official to drive Pinkie...

Insurance on Pinkie: 1200 bucks a year. Insurance on Pinkie if I didn't have at least a 3.0 GPA = 1360 bucks a year.

Well I'm off to visit my grandparents since that's an easy way to earn brownie points. See ya later, guys!

Congratulations Pete
Daughter has the same student discounts , I don't bother to check what her addition to the Expedition's insurance is.

My van is under commercial insurance because its a cutaway chassis, and so my daughter can't be on its policy.

My wife is on the van's policy but she refuses to drive it so I guess I'm throwing money away

I'd like to put the truck on a dyno to see what it's making for power stock and then see what it'll make once I get it DP tuned and all that other happy jazz.

Good. Got my actual plastic license today.

I'm good til 2014 or til I go for my class A which will likely be sooner.

I'm just happy that I'm guaranteed to not get stuck driving a tractor this winter if we have a perfectly good plow truck.

Unfortunately we still need to get a plow for the 95.
