My first driver’s license photo was a four year reminder of how stupid I was! Two days before I had to go in for my driver’s test I was on the beach drinking with a bunch of friends. I got stupid and drank way too much. Who knows how to pace themselves at that age? I jumped in the ocean to cool off. But mistimed my dive into the wave and ended up hitting my face on bottom of the ocean. I split my head in one, perfect line from my forehead to my chin.  But there was nothing that was going to stop me from getting that license. I took the driver’s test. Passed it.  Then took my driver’s license photo.  For four years every time I looked at that photo it reminded me of how stupid I was.  

My first car was a DATSUN 1200.  Best car ever. I ran it into the ground. I one point, in college, my friends joked that you could point to ANY place in the car and there was something that didn’t work properly. Glove box wouldn’t stay shut; crack in the windshield; brake could be pushed all the way to the floor; side window hanging; rag in the gas tank (real safe). But the car NEVER DIED. NEVER! I swear one day I’m going to get a loud knock on my front door and it’ll be that DATSUN 1200 wanting one last ride.

I'll be making postings on this blog peridocially like this and look forward to getting your feedback too! If you've got a great first car story or first drivers license photo to share we want you to do that here too! So keep checking back and see ya on the road!
