whew, i passed my license test about an hour and a half ago. good thing is this time i passed with flying colors (other two times didnt do so good obviously). it took me three times to do it but the third time's the charm and it was a breeze. so now i'm ALL ready for the basics of chasing (car, license, knowledge, and a crappy camera), and i'll be driving my dad's old car, a 1990 Toyota Carolla (rustbucket).

I had a '92 Toyota Corolla for a while. I liked to call it the Corrode-a.
Congrats. And I'm staying out of your way for the time being

Congrats fellow Minnesotan.
Don't be chasing alone if at all possible and keep your eye on the road.

Congratulations, Dean.
Please be clear in your mind which pedal is for the brakes and which is for the gas!
(I'm not kiddin'. Soon after I got my license, I pressed the accelerater for brakes and almost caused a nasty accident. It has happened to more people than you might think.)
Don't drink & drive either. It's amazing how much embarrassment a simple glass of water spilled on the wrong spot of your pants can cause. It's better to pull over to the side of the road before drinking.
Happy Driving!
