I recently turned 18, so my parents signed me up for driving school. When I showed up at the academy, I was surprised by the cars they had available for students to learn on. They told me to pick whichever I liked best, and I chose the Mercedes-Benz G500.

I learnd to drive stick at the car dealer when I took the car for my first test drive. lol dude was NOT impressed but only found out as we were doing 40 in 3rd gear about 15 minutes from the dealership. only stalled once! lol

bought the car too.. didn't learn how to put it into reverse until the day I went to leave the dealership with my car. that was an experience lol
