Ha ha. I was a farm kid, had been driving tractors for years, when I was out of high school by the time I was eligible for driver’s ed in the latter 70’s. Still had to take it in an independent course over the summer to qualify for my license, but yeah, driving on the road was a cinch after all I’d done on the farm.
We didn’t know how good life was back then, did we.
Like Burt Reynolds once said, “I spent the first half of my life trying to get away from this small town, I’ve spent the second half trying to get back here”.
