I drove today…. for 2 HOURS! Christie, my instructor clearly didn’t believe in teaching folks how to drive in parking lots. So here I was, fastening my seat belt and seated in the driver’s seat the first class itself… Revved out of the parking, right out of the apartment complex… and Whoops! We’re off….:-)
Small roads, curves, slopes, busy junctions… a sudden turn and bang on the Interstate with gigantic trucks and 58-foot trailers… Man! I had fun!!!
Looking forward to the next class already… Yoo Hoo!

Re: way to go!!!
Thanks, yaar… That Mini Cooper might end up staying just what it is.. a prized dream! Dunno abt the Italian Job connection, though!

That must be exciting. It is a good move not to let your husband teach you to drive. I taught my wife and those were some of the worst days of our lives.

Parag.. Pinch did teach me how to drive. Just that we ran out of time and space to learn driving… Must say that he was ultra-patient with me.. and I learnt all the car controls from him, to begin with.
That might be the reason why Christie took me on the Interstate the first day itself.
