Re: The Car you got your Drivers license in.
My dad's 1993 Honda Accord. I loved that car.
I got a score of 97/100, I could've gotten higher if I argued but I decided to let it slide since 97 is pretty damn good.

Re: The Car you got your Drivers license in.
It's bad cause in Norway the really nice driving schools have much greater cars!
Spesially in Oslo.
Normal cars in Norway (from my hometown to Oslo) is:
A4 S-Line TDI 2006
A6 S-Line TDI 2005
BMM 3-Series D / Touring
Peugeot 407 SW Diesel
Volvo V40 1.9
and some other..
The most status in Driving schools has:
Audi S3 2007
Vw GT - I sold it to a instructor at work
BMW M3 2003
BMW M5 2005
BMW X5 D
Subaru Impreza WRX STI
++
Then you realise that a Volvo is crap!
But I got my license and that is all that count's..

This was a challenge for me in the 420 S-Class, I really had to practice my butt off because of the size.

Yeah, I was happy about that too. I tried my ass off because if I were to fail, my father, uncles and cousins would've made fun of me because they all passed in the first try. I did so well I got a pizza party!

I didn't have to parrallel park, there were only 6 or so parrallel parking spots in the entire town.
My Dad's first driving test (way back when) at the end the instructor start to ball him out for all the things he did wrong, but stopped when he found out my dad had failed by one. Though my dad had only driven a car for a grand total of about an hour befor that. He then passed the second test, after practicing for another half hour or so.

^^wow. Now a days, if you fail your test, you have to wait like a week or 2 weeks to take it again.

lOl good you didn`t crash the party.. Family pressure can be a bit harsh sometimes.

Here in France you have two systems to have the drivers licence.
First: you are 18, go in a driving school, have some lessons and pass the test.
Second: you are 16, go in a driving school, have very few lessons, and then are allowed to drive, but only with your parents beside you. You have to do at least 2000 or 3000kms like that. Then, once you are 18, you pass the test.
This is the last thing I did, my parents bought a Renault 4L to do that. But once they realized that it had no brakes at all when it rained, and that the gearbox on the dashboard was not perfect, that it was really rusting (the passenger had its feet watered when it rained) they sold it against a Renault Super5 Diesel.
This car had a lot of kms, none of the doors closed properly, and it was really really not powerful (small diesel without turbo), sometimes I had to put the first gear to manage a climb... At 80 km/h (after hours trying to reach that insane speed) you felt like if you were in a plane travelling at Mach ten...
Had my licence at the first attempt. The car of the driving school, on which I had my test, was a Peugeot 206.
Have had lots of cars since my licence, because my Dad like cars but can't keep them long.
The Golf is now really mine though, and I won't sell it.
In France, we have 12 points on our drivers licence, and recently it has become really difficult to keep them, cause there are a lot of radars now.
I only lost one point: I was driving in a little town at 57km/h (so 51 km/h because of the legal approximation), and it was limited to 50 km/h...
Did not felt dangerous, but... So one point and 45€, for one km/h too much...

As usual great post coolraoul.
The point system sounds like pretty technical stuff.
The Diesel engines of the 80s were really slow. The reason I liked the one I owned was becaused it was a 5-cylinder 2.4liter Turbo good for 123hp. My moms Volvo 760 Turbo Diesel 5-speed was rated at 103hp.
The Mercedes was much faster!

My Renault was a 1.6 diesel with 55hp...But they felt more like 25 than like 55.
Without turbo, a small diesel really feels slow, because it does not like to rev. It revvs really slowly, is very long to go over 3000t/min, so it really felt as slow as a Solex (French bicycle with a small motor above the front wheel, which makes it quite dangerous to drive, and that can't move only with the motor when you don't help it...But it was such a cool ride...)
The Reanault was so noisy that at 80km/h you thought you were flying, the whole car vibrates from everywhere, and it smoked a lot too.
Strangely, it was quite cool to drive, I liked it more than the 206 of the driving-school (really an uninspiring car).
This is a Solex, they sold a lot of them till the 80's in France...
