13 (possibly weird) random facts about me & driving:

1. for my 16th birthday I wanted my permit & a brand new car (I'll let you guess which ONE I got)
2. my parents said they'd gladly get me a second hand car AFTER I passed my road test
3. I wanted to take my road test in my brand new car so I showed them & refused to take my road test but continued asking for a car for every gift giving occasion that came up (for like 5 years!)
4. I never paid for any of the vehicles I had
   
5. my uncle bought me a VW bug when I was 18 or 19; I didn't drive it once
6. when I was around 21 my uncle picked up a 67 Chevy Impala; that got me a little excited so I decided I'd start driving a little, only with him though.
7. when I was 24(?) my boyfriend (now hubby) bought me a Thunderbird; I drove it once or twice
8. I had no interest in driving. I always had boyfriends & friends with vehicles, cabs, buses, trains so it wasn't really a necessity for me
9. I still had no desire to schedule a road test
10. however I continued renewing my permit
11. when I was 27 I took my road test & passed & I continued to not drive
    
12. when I was 30 my mom gave me her old car when she bought her new one; it sat in the driveway for almost a year before I decided to start using it
    
13. when I was 32 my husband bought me a brand new car :-)
