POLL TIME When did you start driving a car?

[Luv Ducks]

Who here, other than @R2elk, has driven a "three on the tree" transmission?

I have driven all kinds of standards including a dump truck. When my car was broke down and I had to get to work to drive the bus I drove our dump truck. My fellow employees complained to the boss that the construction workers were parking in our lot. My friends told them to Hush, it's Debbie's dump truck! I told them I looked at the old truck, then I looked at my tennis shoes and decided the old truck was better than then the Heel Toe Express. LOL

How do you like that Urus?

it’s awesome.

0-60 in 3.2. handles like a supercar, but you’re in a luxury suv. i’ve really enjoyed it for the last year and a half. not sure what i’ll move on to next.

I did learn to ride a bike when I was 5. Where I live a bike is perfect to go to school , move around in town and nearby villages, and do things with friends.

Btw, I did learn to ride a car with clutches. Had cars with cluthes all my life until we bought an electric car 2 years ago.

I ride a bike more often than going by car. For shoppings (5 minutes) , to go to work (10 minutes). And last year I crossed the river with my bike to buy fertilised eggs from someone with bantam RIR chickens.

The car is for longer distances or to carry loads.

I wish America was more bike friendly/accessible. My city has some bike lanes, but they're not protected, and people try to intimidate cyclists by driving right next to us (and it works, I'm terrified!)

nothing worse than being stuck behind a couple of cyclists taking up half the lane doing 18 mph. i wish they’d all get off the roads.

Negative. You have not died inside until you've been stuck behind 2 snowbirds "racing" their motorhomes at 22MPH for 10 miles.

Cyclists here think they own the roads. If there’s a nice, wide shoulder, you can bet that they’ll be right smack in the middle of the lane.

This is where this thread goes down hill.

if the cyclists were going downhill it wouldn’t be as bad to drive behind them.

You must not have driven behind snow mobilers going down the snow covered road then crossing the road in front of you to get to every field

nope. when the roads are covered in snow i generally stay home and then charter a flight to warmer climates as soon as i can drive to the airfield
