96 Toyota Corolla. It was a perfect car for new drivers IMO.

1986 Ford Mustang V6 (the notchback coupe one). Incidentally, before this, I learned to drive in a Ford Windstar minivan :mask:

It's between 0.02 and 0.08 in OH.


That's kind of a lot.



.08 is the legal drink-drive limit in PA (I think in all of the US, too).

So is Maine. I use my breathalyzer iPhone app to keep myself at a constant 0.07 at all times.

Are you serious? If you are, do really trust that app?

Mouth wash; at least that's what I have heard.

On a side note, I know of a girl who got cited for .01% (not whilst driving). :facepalm: Seriously, why bother? I can't imagine that stood up in court.

And cough syrup, etc. There are a lot of things with alcohol in them that minors can take.

I took my driver's test in a 1978 Mercury Zephyr with a 3-speed manual transmission.  I still remember the date of the test -- September 15, 1978.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

I was cited for a .01%, and it stood up in court. I didn't try to fight it, but it wouldn't have mattered, because the police found me alone in a crawlspace with 3 empties after they had already busted the rest of the party. :cheers:

Boy, did I look stupid. Anyways. In Germany as long as you don't have a license - in driving school - the instructor must have the possibility to brake and accelerate with his own pedals. That's why you have to attend your driving test in a special car.
The Fiat JTD is still the shittiest car I have ever driven. Seriously. If I wasn't such a car nut I probably would have thought: Fuck the driving test - walking is more fun. Even with a cactus in the ass.
I was soooo happy when I drove the Polo for the first time on public roads after driving this piece of italian shit.

We're getting those soon!


How has it treated you?


Also, maybe it's the perspective, but the 2 doesn't look that small in comparison to that F-series.

Can get 25 MPG with a very heavy foot. An extra gear for highway speeds would be nice, as it hovers around 3000 rpm when doing 60 mph. But it is fun to drive and has a bigger trunk than the Yaris at the expense of not as much rear legroom as the Yaris.
