Same here, and I lucked out in driver's ed because my teacher had a Ford Taurus, which was the same car my mom owned. I was very comfortable with it.
Lucky! The civic I drove was a hybrid. I stopped on a hill for a red light and as soon as it turned green I let off the brake and hit the gas pedal. Even when I pushed the gas in quite a ways I was rolling backwards! I hated driving it!

Any car is low to me. The wife has a Ford Edge Crossover and I have driven Rangers since 98'. I hate the thought of someday having to drive a car.
Nice.

I'm not a big fan of cars, the Mustang is one exception that I'll live with. My parents Ford Escape sits pretty high, since its an SUV, I don't mind it at all. I like trucks better though.

This girl that I like, having to give up her though...drives a black Mazda 6, she lives out like in the country. Her car is always dirty, sometimes she has more mud on that car than my truck. I like the Mustang clean, I don't mind whether the Ranger is dirty or clean.

Thats the way I feel about my ranger in the winter. I figure if I wash it the dirty snow on the roads is just going to make it dirty again. I do clean it often just to get all the crap off.

It is terribly boring! But it was either go through the class or wait till I turn 16 to get my license. All in all, it was worth it.

I drove a Chevy Cavalier and a Chevy Malibu for drivers training. I hated the Cavalier sooo much, low to the ground, uncomfortable, no power, brakes sucked. The Malibu was better but I still didn't like it.

In the summer I wash my truck once a week also. But due to the fact that I'm a teenager that can only work in the summer, car washes can get a little expensive. I use all the money I've made from the summer for gas.

For some reason I don't get that feeling when I drive the land yacht

I didn't either. Seemed like a major PITA, so I just waited a little longer and took the test without it.

That's about what I was doing, except I waxed it every time. lol. Can't really do that right now though. It pisses me off because the ranger is filthy right now.

Here in pa you have to wait to get your permit until your 16 either way so it doesn't really matter
