it's awesome at first... then come car payments, insurance, gas, maintenance, people asking for rides, that friend of a friend that pukes in your back seat, that flat tire at 2am on the freeway, getting your shit keyed while your at the movies, washing that shit, AC going out...

it's an amazing feeling ;)
I failed twice before passing the second one (which consists of driving, not just written). Series of unfortunate events, basically.
Still have the final (3rd) test to go.

I'm interested in knowing your age as well. Just curious.
I never felt any need to drive, which is why I never took my first test until I was 17 or 18.

when i was in ottawa i drove everywhere because i hated the public transportation system there. took forever to get from point A to B.
but now in montréal. i just bike or walk everywhere. i do miss driving, but definitely happy i dont have a car in this city filled with horrible drivers/bikers/pedestrians.

Franco did you ever watch a show called bibi et genevive when you were younger ?

Montréal has some of the worst streets ever. Beautiful city, but the driving is not that pleasant.
I'm used to the transportation in Ottawa now. Taking an express bus or the O-Train really helps.

I failed my driver’s three times.
1st time ... the lady told me mum that I, "There is no doubt in her mind I can handle a vehicle, but that I tripled the speed limit, and ran 5 stop signs." To which I of course started laughing ... because I didn’t.
Well turns out I was going 15 in a 5, and I never came to a complete stop at any stop signs... My tiraded on how the fact being that there is no such thing as a 5MPH zone anywhere and there is no chance in hell I am stopping a stop sign and counting to 5 unless a cop is behind me didn’t help my case.
2nd time ... the guy did not put on his seat buckle and I turned the car on. We had been sitting for awhile too talking about shit. Needless to say I was not allowed back to take the test there after what ensued.
3rd time ... I was parallel parking and the guy kept saying I could go back, and I was like ... I am going to hit that barrel. He said, "No." And I go, I am taking you by your word because you are a driving instructor and if you instruct me to do something that is going to make me fail that goes against everything blah blah blah ... of course he agreed and I hit it. He then asked if I wanted to do the rest of the course and I told him to fuck off and he can walk back, haha.
4th time ... the guy couldn’t fathom how I failed 3 times I told him the stories while I was driving around and he was laughing at how they (not him) do from time to time stunts like that but loved how I responded to each one.
All that being said ... I hate driving, I have no idea how to parallel park to this day and I am not a good driver.

Also props, as long as you have wheels the freedom you get as a result is great.
I couldn’t imagine being carless, I would feel trapped.
