Unfortunately, because I'm such a nice guy, my sister has been using it more than me since her car just died and she needs to get to class. But yeah, I never really needed a car/license before now, so I just never go them.  Luckily my Nana inherited a some money after and Aunt of hers died, and she decided to buy a new car for herself, and decided to let me have her old one. Also, I brought my ipod to listen to while I was waiting. Hit shuffle, and this came on. I had to resist the urge to burst out laughing in the middle of a very crowded DMV office.

I make better time on my bike than cars do for anything worthwhile in the city.

The four pinch welds, on the rails between the wheels; rear diff and the 'block' on the front crossmember. I am still tempted to have AP Racing air jacks installed.
