    I lost count of how many drinks I had tonight, but I only paid for one of them!

    :woot:

    :yes:
    :cheers:

    Also, I just found out that my cousin's brother-in-law has already banged a chick in the back of his new DCSB Tacoma, with only 600 miles on the clock, after owning it for less than a month!

    That bill is going to be insane! And the com being behind would bother me. I wouldn't be able to program it to turn on and off at the right times without doing algebra!

    @El Duderino
    @Plain Jane Taco

    I've been driving since I was 3 years old. I first got behind the wheel on my dad's 16-foot motorboat. It was a brand new 1989 or 1990 Skeeter SD90 outboard that he bought from a going out of business sale at a dealership in Long Island in 1991. My dad was driving a 1986 Mazda B2000 at the time, a no-frills truck with no A/C and no power steering. The boat and trailer weighed less than 2,000 pounds, even with the motor, but my dad didn't want to chance it. He had trailer hitch installed on my mom's 1990 Toyota Camry LE V6 at UHAUL and drove it up to New York. The total cost for the boat and trailer, minus the motor, was about $2,500. That is not a bad deal at all, and he paid cash! He paid another $1,600 or so for a used 1986 Johnson 60hp 2-stroke outboard and matching throttle, and had it installed. I got my first behind-wheel-experience at the age of 3, sitting in my dad's lap and steering the boat all by myself while he controlled the throttle. By the time I was 7 or 8 years old, I was sitting on a booster cushion and driving the boat I'd unofficially named "The Sparkling Splasher" all by myself!

    One of the pistons literally blew up in 1994 or 1995, and my dad and a couple of friends literally rebuilt the motor themselves in a friend's garage. The motor also failed in 1997 and had to be overhauled. In 2008, after about 18 years of largely trouble-free service, the transmission failed and the boat was retired. My dad ended up selling the boat and trailer to the guy who bought Grammy's second lakehouse for like $500 in 2010 or 2011, and we bought a new-to-us 2004 Larson I/O in 2015.

    My second time behind the wheel was at the age of 6 in about 1995, sitting in my dad's lap and steering while he backed his 1993 S-10 Blazer out of the driveway.

    My third time that I can remember was in 1998, in my Grandpa's friend's 1993 Toyota pickup. I could have learned to drive stick shift at the age of 9, but I was too short to reach the pedals. Instead, I sat on his lap and steered while he operated the pedals. I actually steered the Toyota on a public road!

    My Grandpa started letting me drive his '93 Lincoln Continental in 2003 or 2004, when I was 14-15!

    Came to a glass shop in Mexico to pick up some custom windows for a dog house that me, and my dad are building. I saw this Nissan Frontier outside, and noticed that Nissans "TRD" is called NISMO.

    I Honestly did not know this. I know that Mercedes Benz is AMG, and BMW is M.

    My Taco is very high mileage so it's pretty low compared to some of my friends but I believe I paid $400 this year.
