I am also pleased to report that I took the G test on the above standard car. This means that the test was harder - they actually deduct marks for things like coasting out of gear, and for revving/lugging the gears. Cumulatively, these errors can add up to enough bad mojo to result in an F on your permanent record. Thus, this also means I am even more shiny and special than usual.
The license aquisition process took a tad bit longer for me than for most since for years, I never had an automobile to practice on. Observe:
Me: Can I borrow the car? I have to practice my driving.
Parent: No.
Me: Why not? Are you going somewhere?
Parent: Well, no...
Me: Well, why can't I borrow the car, then?
Parent: But what if I have to go somewhere? If you have the car, I'll be stranded.
Me: But we live less than 2 blocks from the subway. And I have a cell phone. How will you be stranded?
Parent: The subway?!?!
Me: So, you're not letting me borrow the car not because you need it but because there is a minute possibility you may need it if an exceptional circumstance arises in the next hour or so that requires you to travel via car and in which all the cell phone networks simultaneously go down and you can't reach me and tell me to come home?
Parent: I'm glad you understand.
And so on and so forth.
In any case, now I can do exciting things like rent cars and drink (a bit) and then drive... not that I'm going to do either of those things, but a girl likes to have options.
