2. finally get around to passing my driving test
I approve of this! Some hints from a lightly-seasoned (10 years without any major mishaps and a clean slate) driver to help:
1) Don't buy a Prius, G-Wiz or any other so-called "Eco-Cars". They are either worse for the environment than a normal car, lethal or both...plus you will look like a prize bellend in one.
2) That said, big 4x4's are designed to go off-road. You don't need a Range Rover to pop to the shops / take the kids to school. A normal saloon will do just as well and, unlike a big 4x4 / SUV, use less fuel than the Saturn V 1st stage.
3) Front wheel drive is for the feeble (although acceptable for a new driver still finding his/her feet).
4) Driving round with your stereo up full and windows down will make everyone assume (correctly) that you are a cock.
5) If you install a brace of 15-in subs in your boot then do the above, there will be no doubt as to your status as a cock.
6) Being serious for a moment - it may sound like a cliche but you only TRULY start learning to drive once you have passed your test and get out there on your own.
Honestly, regardless of the car (unless it's one of the ones I mentioned earlier), your first drive on your own, without dual controls or a friendly hand on your shoulder is a daunting but liberating experience and I honestly wish you the very best of luck with your endeavour!
Anyway, onto my resolutions so far:
1) One day, I
will own a car with a socking-great V8, big carbs and really shitty gas-mileage (this one was dreamed up when I was pissed as a fart but still holds true).
2) I will be more productive, art-wise. My completed picture count for 2010 stands at 18 which is woeful. For someone who wants to make more money (maybe even a living someday) out of his artwork, I'm so slack it's untrue!
That's as far as I got so far. I need to replace the alternator belt on my car pretty soon but that hardly counts...
