Excactly, I am 19 also and I almost did kill someone 3 days after I got
my liscence. Long story, but I ended up loosing my liscence for a year
and had to buy my next vehicle, (it wasn't a ford, i promise, no, really
it wasn't) because mine(my moms old car) was totaled. I am not saying I
know everything there is to know, but, I am a much safer driver now
(kinda).
Erich 98 ext. cab v8 5spd.
