...Drive when you took your first driver’s test, to get your license and when was it?
Me, 1985 and I was driving my green and white 1963 Chevy Impala 4-door. That car had power windows, power door locks and A/C. It was equipped with a 327cid engine and a Powerglide trans.
It was a great old car. It was also a boat. I drove a Chevy Celebrity in driver’s ed and learned to parallel park in it. Then, I parallel parked the Impala in the driver’s test. It was a bit of a challenge and I got marked off 3 points. I did everything else correctly though.
I took a commercial driver’s ed class, to get my license sooner. The Instructor was a character. He was an old-school Cold Warrior and he wasn’t shy with his opinions. I learned early on that a fun alternative to sitting through boring driver’s ed lectures was to mention anything Cold War-related, early in the class. He would be off to the races and the time just flew by.
How about you?
