You should get a convertible with a reallybig subwoofer, so you could play hardcore and annoy everyone when you have the top down :p
Also, $65 lols

Did you mean to strike out "you should get" too? cus now the sentence makes no sense :p
Convertible so sound isn't impeded by windows etc ;p
edit: Preferably some track with obscenities, since some people are offended and think they have the right to limit freedom of speech. Like that crazy lady who was on Penn & Teller.

Passed both theoretical and practical tests on the first attempts, cus I'm just that great.
Like in Finland, we also have a mandatory slippery road test we have to pass before we can even take the practical driving test. Started off with just getting a feel of how slippery it was, seeing what happened if we used the breaks, turned off the engine, hammered down the clutch etc. on slippery surfaces, and later on we had to do dodge "pedestrians". They weren't immobile, they were controlled via remote by our instructors, and usually thrown into the road at the worst moment :p
Ha! That's badass, the cost of everything sucks though there.
Yeah, prices are higher here than a lot of other places, but I think we have slightly higher salaries to make up for it, to an extent. Still, a lot of things are really expensive. How much does getting a license cost in US&A? I think you can easily reach 20.000NOK here, depending on the number of regular lessons. 20.000NOK is about 3.300USD.
If I remember correctly it cost me $25 to take my test for my permit (Have to drive around with a licensed driver, i.e. your parents for at minimum 6 months), and $40 for the road test? The forty was only because it's an outside company and they can charge what they want, and the road test was as easy as me driving down the road, changing lanes, turning, going on the freeway for exactly one minute, then going back to where we started and backing up into a spot than parallel parking.
That's $65 over the course of ~6 months, so about 397.80 NOK.
Here it cost me about 2000e, id assume it has gone up since.
First you need to take a health test, then about 20 hours of theory and 15 hours of driving. After that you take a theory test and a driving test (lasts about an hour, you drive where the instructor tells you to, park etc.). Then you get stage one driving permit (lasts 2 years). After that you do the second stage, driving on ice, in the dark and some theory.

Here as long as you know how to turn without hitting somebody, you get a license. Lovely, ain't it?

Still waiting for a legitimate amount of snow.

Take mine, I just got hit with snow. The worst part is, it isn't really "snow" it's mostly slush which will freeze over and be all god damn icy!

We got like 4-6 inches over where I'm at, the only bad thing that happened here was the snow was powdery and we had like 30mph winds. Kinda sucks driving with icy roads and wind. But I still like the cold :D
