Car I had:
06 V6 Honda Accord
The one thing is.... mum DID ask why we weren't buying one of the BMWs lower on the list.
Honda had a E90 330i sport pack one parked next to the Accord listed for the same price... and the Accord was NOT cheap to maintain.

Cars I wish I had:
- B9 S4
- G37
- E39 M5
- 3G TL A-Spec

Cars I would've bought with a lot more hindsight and experience.
The convertible would've made it a far more social experience, capture excitement and adventure.
- JK Wrangler
- JCW Cooper / 500 Abarth Convertible, in Red
- E93 335i/M3
- Coyote Mustang in Grabber Blue
- S2000, in White

The good old days.

My mom had someone else take her test for her in 1970 before there was picture ID.

My grandfather never took a driving test. After WWII England had such a backlog of people they just asked if you'd been driving a farm truck or tractor for more than 6 months. If yes, here's your license.

Stop sharing these stories. Don’t want to give them reason to loosen up the already loose tests. Lol.

This is my great grandfather's driver's license from 1911 in England... or Wales actually it seems... 6.5hp limit and it cost him 2gbp and 2 shillings lol

"Four or more wheels" nice. He was authorized to drive 18-wheelers :D

at 6.5hp Kappa

I take it, you're also in the laminated DL club lol
