    okay here we get our learners at 15 and a half, drive on that, with a full licensed driver over the age of 18, for nine months. then we go to court and get our license. no test involved. thats why this county is full of shitty drivers. you dont have to take a driving test. its dumb shit, cause half the people in my school that drive would not have a hope of driving if we had a test.

    here drivers ed is tought through the school, so you dont always get the best teaching. i took the state program instead.

    Well obviously the idiot who told himself has never driven a high-performance car. G-forces, braking, accelerating, sheer exhilaration, etc. the sensations that make us addicted to driving. Now me I am not saying I have experienced a whole lot of this (I'm only at the minimum age to drive alone). However with the little I have experienced It has certainly got me addicted. Not only this cars and other fine fast machines let us appreciate all the fine work, creativity, and engineering that went in to making that car.

    I like cars simply because of the speed, the power, the thrill of driving.
    Cars are faster than anything else.
    Cars can be bad (Mini Cooper)
    Cars can be good (Ferrari F350)
    There are all sorts of cars, there's a car for everyone really.

    For me, cars are similar to looking at something scenic. Like the view from a mountain peak. Nicely polished chrome catches my eye which is one reason I like the classic U.S. cars. For an example... the '53 Cadillac- the whole front end is chrome. Love it!

    Another reason: Horses can't burn rubber.
