Finally got my driving licence! Yay me!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

It was the forth time today... but I finally managed to drive well enough to get my licence!
(they are very very strict here)

So tonight I am going to drive in my car! :):):)
And Monday to France! Yay!

Congrats Eline! :) Now drive safely and responsibly. Even if you should happen to come upon the Autobahn. :o

Congrats, Eline. Go have a minor scrape with a parked car-- you deserve it.

Thanks guys!

Now I can spend all my money on clothes/shoes (and fuel) instead of lessons! I can't believe I spent almost 2500 euros on this thing. :(

Predabot: I have been driving on the dutch Autobahn for a year now, during my lessons, so that should be fine. I'm not sure about the German Autobahn where they drive 200 km/h though... I think I need some practise before I go there.

Yeah, but that's because you just moved to Lahndan Proppa. And private cars are, like, banned there or something. Thanks, Ken!

I drove to the beach yesterday, for a romantic (but alcohol-free) dinner, and I drove to work this morning, after dropping my boyfriend off at his workplace.

And I'm still alive! :)

The car is great, it accelerates much faster than the car I've been having lessons in. But don't worry, I will be careful. And very happy :):):)
