This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

This is kinda cool

Yeh...about two months ago I got my learners license and now I'm learning to drive...had my second lesson today and I'm loving it...it's really cool! I haven't crashed into anything yet and the guy who is teachign me hasn't refused to let me drive again, so I guess I can say that I'm not too bad at this driving thing.

Any interesting experiences out there when learning to drive?

You haven't crashed into anything yet. That is good. Well, I am not sixteen yet so I wouldn't know. But have a great time with the car. And try not to kill anyone.

At least you could do it, thanks to synchro-mesh gearing. Back in the old days you'd probably have wrecked your clutch.

While I was learning, it got to the point when I had to 'grind' manoeuvres 'til I could do them properly. One two hour lesson I spent at least forty-five minutes looking backwards. Needless to say I sprained my neck and couldn't turn my head for a week. Happy days.

i think the worst i have done was bounce a silverado of an enbankment no real damage though, twisted the front bumper a little, thick fog and lack of expience behind the wheel of something that big was to blame, and a few days ago i got a warning ticket for doing 50 mph in a 40 zone.
now the real fun part is i want to get a CDL (commercial drivers licence) so i can drive larger trucks and buses am i crazy or just strange?
One thing i will say about driving is that you can be the best driver in the world but its the other person you need to watch out for.

I was carpooling to classes with a friend, when she killed it,It was way funny, but she couldnt get it started again, so we pushed it out of the intersection, and we tried everything we could to fix it, but it was no good. Finaly she takes out the key and thows it on the ground. after she picked it up and stuck it in the ignition again, it wouldnt even turn. I let her sit for about a minutes, then reached across, took out the key, fliped it over, and with a small flick, it started right up. I've got no clue what happend, other than she had the key in upside down.
