The day has finally come..
Well guys, it'* here. Today is the day. I turned 16 yesterday, and will be getting my license today [actually within about 2 hrs]. I am so incredibly excited that I can't calm down. Anyways, I thought you guys may want to see a pic of my g-ride [

Do not let your eagerness fail your test!!!!!!
Good luck; but if you do fail, have fun with it. Do your best to give the instructor a heart attack

I already had taken the driving portion, and the written portion.. so it was a quick in-out at the DMV.
But anyways, got my license, first thing I did was of course leave. Went, picked up a buddy, went to the gas station, walk around car, and by the time I was done putting $5 in, I had a giant puddle of coolant. In the first 5mi of me having my license and driving my pos, i blew my water pump. How great. It was around 4, and the junkyard closed at 5, so i hauled over there, pulled a water pump, drove to the local napa and picked up a w/p gasket [these two were about 20-30mi round trip. Get home, and a lady friend calls, and wants to go out. No time to put in the w/p, and drive all around everywhere, taking her out.. well all in all I drove 120mi on a blown w/p. Used up about 4ga of water during this time. But other than that, the little corsica that could.. did.

The freedom is sweet.. and it'* awesome not to care if the car breaks down, because I've got a free tow no matter what [my mom is dating a tow truck driver].
I've already got 3 jobs, and by next week will be working 60-80hrs/wk. I'll have the money to fix the b'ville by the end of the summer, and once school is in I will have access to the autoshop and can install the engine and rebuild the trans. Because I know that my corsica will be a 6mo car. Even if it isn't, I'll want an older car by then, and I'll just sell it anyways. But for now she'* my wheels.
