    Geeze Elle, we may be lucky we are here.
    You're right about that...but we also grew up in cribs painted with lead paint.

      Elle: There's no controlling these guys. Of course it was about PROFESSIONAL driving school, not High School or those "driving school" lessons you can purchase in most towns.

      PROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sheesh!
      Unbelivable TBN trips including ALL of the lower 48 States plus 9 Canadian Provinces, 8 European Countries, 3 Caribbean Countries, Countless National Parks and have attended well over 100 TBN Events since 2001 and counting. Best of all ... fabulous friends.

        I went to Heavy Equipment School when I was in the Navy. They taught us how to drive big trucks. Does that count???

                there is no honest way to explain it
                because the only people who really know where it is
                are the ones who have gone over.”

                    I went to the Richard Petty driving school in '98. Did 30 laps around the Charlotte Motor Speedway in a stock car. It was a blast!

                      Ron, I used to practice 360's on hard pack snow covered streets with my dad's 59 Pontiac. Would come around a 90 degree corner, gun it and the back end would start to come aroound. After going 180 I would hit the brake and front end would come around completing my 360 and would continue to drive on. This was in a small town of 300+ people and of course I would be doing this after midnight when no one was around. Fun times.

                            But I did go to a free driving school run by the Military Police at Schofield barracks Hawaii many years ago because I was speeding on post.. :)

                              Drove a Co. car for 29 years and had to take a rigorous defensive driving school every year. I took a week long class to get a CDL liscense but never really needed it'
                              Also took a NHRA drag racing school back in late 60's. Now that was fun, except you soon leatned you couldn't afford to race.

                                Attended the two day Bondurant school of High Performance Driving a year ago at the age of 72. The other fellow in my class was 76. I can tell you besides learning a good deal about driving it was fun, fun, fun. Should be on everyone's bucket list.
