Well, I am 26 years old, living in Northern Cali, and just now, this morning, managed to finally get my drivers license. I had never had it previously, I didn’t do anything to get my license (or getting of one) delayed at all… I just never had it. But this morning, after a bout of nerve-induced Nausea, I managed to not only take my drivers test, but managed to score a perfect no errors!!! So, Tristan is mobile baby… get the hell off the roads!!! ---

I didn’t get my license until I was twenty-four, and I heard all those same jokes. I scored a 96 out of a 100, but my first two tries were automatic fails (long sad stories). Stay safe and have fun! ----:)/ ----///\\ ---

Tristan, I am proud of you. I’m another who didn’t get a license till I was 24. I learned on SoCal freeways. Doesn’t it feel great? When and where is your first real journey going to be? ---

Well, I was thinking of a drive to Montana to visit a friend, but she looks to be coming here… so my first real drive may be for the NorCAl meets SoCal Dopefest… 😛 I hope! ---

I am 18 1/2 by the way… and still no time to get driving lessons… last time I drove was when I was twelve… on the supermarket parking space 😃 Go here to see my congratulations to you: [http://www.geocities.com/loonygreetings/licence.gif](http://www.geocities.com/loonygreetings/licence.gif) (typos included) dodgy ---

thanks… although, I suppose if one wants to take your name at it’s literal meaning here in the States, you shouldn’t have much of a problem… hehehehe
