Re: Off Topic 2015

Thanks, I'm looking over everything. On the website, it says these chapters are going to be covered on the test ( and I put my recorded scores next to them)

Spoiler

Traffic Control (19/24)
Intersections and turns (9/13)
Passing (6/8)
Parallel Parking (8/9)
Defensive Driving (6/6)
Alcohol and other drugs (17/20)
Special driving conditions (12/16)
Sharing the road (4/8)
Road signs you must know (11/16)

So I think that if I had to take the test right now, I'd be in decent shape, but I'm still going to study to improve in some areas (bolded)

Don't listen to anything anyone else has said. The real answer is do everything that Sheldon Richardson did.

Re: Off Topic 2015

My driving test was a joke. They had a little driving circle in the back behind the Publix and it was pretty much driving in a circle, turning, stop signs, and reverses. I only got dinged for not using my turn signal when turning into the parking spot which I'm pretty I've never actually done ever since.

I've never Parallel Parked in my life and hopefully I keep it that way

Re: Off Topic 2015

I failed my first driving test on some straight up bull****. I had passed everything with flying colors and just had to pull over into the parking lot to finish. Pulled into a spot with a pole in it, and rather than just stopping and being done, I decided to inch up a little further and just *barely* tapped the pole. It was so close she had to get out to see if it was actually touching. Failed right there because it was a "dangerous action." **** me.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Going to the DMV tomorrow to take the written exam for a drivers permit. I've been taking some practice tests on the specific chapters (so far, intersections,parking/standing signs and emergency decisions/situations), and overall it seems like these tests are just common sense. But I'm off to study for the rest of the night

I'll presume you're 15/16 years old? Crazy how long ago that was for me [cue the old jokes].

My first car was a GRANDMA gold 1998 Chevy Lumina with a side mirror missing on the passenger side and wheel bearings that were so off I had to turn the wheel 5 degrees to the left to go straight. Durable car though - I put about 50K on it and I got it when it had 140K.

Anyways, when I took the driving test...I was so nervous when I turned the vehicle on I mashed the gas instead of the break so I revved the engine. I was "smooth" enough to act like it was a joke to the instructor.

I drove a Luminator for a good two years.

Car was a piece of ****, but for being a broke college student when gas prices were flirting with the 3.50/gallon mark, it did the job.

Re: Off Topic 2015

And is it just me or does $85.75 sound like a bit much for a permit? Lol

Just the first in a long line of fees you'll wonder about. Just wait until you get your first car and pay for the license plates...

Re: Off Topic 2015

My first car was a 1974 Pontiac Catalina. Thing was a solid metal tank.

My dad said if I ever got into a wreck, it'd be my last one because that was before hoods were designed to crumple.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Yeah I'm 16.

Anyways, I just left the dmv and I passed the test. It was pretty easy. They just gave me a piece of paper with my info on it as the permit but said the one with my picture and stuff should come in about 2 weeks.

And is it just me or does $85.75 sound like a bit much for a permit? Lol

That's a lot when I went like 5 years ago it was like 30 or so in MA, I think.

I had to pay close to $300 for registration and tag for a car I brought back in February.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I feel like what ever that was is so specific to its own topic that it has no place in an "off topic" thread.

Re: Off Topic 2015

It's the refrain from one of their most popular songs, but reversed and slowed down. But yeah..... nobody else is going to even know what that is haha.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Annoyed.

Best friend's bachelor party was scheduled and booked for September 3-6 which was ideal because it was Labor Day Weekend and we'd come back and have a day off on the 7th. But because his fiancee's cousins and friends and all that won't be able to make it, he's pushing it back to September 10-13 and we can't even go in October like ORIGINALLY bantered about because of his work.

Horrible. So now because he needs to invite and have those guys with us too, we go from a small and tight 6 guys to like 15 guys, we have to change our bookings, lose that extra cool-down day off, fly on and party over 9/11 weekend, *AND* miss Week 1 of football since that Sunday coming back will basically be a loss with checking out and going to the airport and all that crap.

Ugh. ****ing' obligations. So annoying.

Figured I'd post it here since many who remember him might not be fans today so they wouldn't be in that section of this forum but..."Rowdy" Roddy Piper died today! Was only 61!
