Great idea. Nothing about this post is new (I need a cup of coffee for that, having just gotten up) so here goes.
There are so many things that you don't know about me, in fact, there are tons of things I don't know about you as well.
Like a previous poster, I didn't get my driver's license until I was older ... 32 as I failed my high school driving course due to lack of driving practice. (My dad had a van and I was too scared to learn to drive in it, especially with my dad in the co-pilot seat.)
I bought a brand new car (stick shift cause it was cheaper) on a Saturday, paid it all off by cheque, before I even had a beginner's license, let alone a REAL driver's license. I got my beginner's on the following Thursday. Things were a bit tense at work in case I DIDN'T pass and everyone disappeared until the first brave soul found out I HAD passed and then the word got out and people crawled out of the woodwork to congratulate me. I arranged for the car insurance that same day, since the dealer couldn't put a plate on an uninsured car, and two days later, I went with my girlfriend and her husband to pick up my car. She drove it home for me, since I had never driven a manual transmission car. In fact, I hadn't drive ANY car at all for 14 years.
I had to enter the car through the back of my Mazda 323 several times during our cold Canadian winters when the doors froze. Not the locks, just the seals around the door frame. Fun times.
