Good going Joshua. We are proud to have you as a member here on Fordbarn. Drive safely and set a good example for the others who will be getting their drivers license soon.

Torchie · 01-25-2013, 07:34 PM

Good job. The day I got mine l had my 56 Mercury Montclair sitting in the drive way waiting for me.

oldbugger · 01-25-2013, 08:37 PM

Way to go joshua, don't do what I did first day, blew out 1st gear in my 54 ford, just the 1st of many cluster gears. I learned to repair that tranny with my eyes closed.

Mike in AZ · 01-25-2013, 11:08 PM

Congrats, Joshua.....now be safe out there.....Mike

Cecil/WV · 01-26-2013, 07:59 AM

One of the best days in your life!!

jim1932 · 01-26-2013, 08:09 AM

Basically assume everyone else is out to get you, and you will avoid a lot of accidents.

Henry/Kokomo · 01-26-2013, 08:40 AM

Excellent!!!

PeterC · 01-26-2013, 09:43 AM

Well - I hope you passed yesterday! I took may test way back in my Dad's 1963 Pontiac Catalina 2dr HT with 421ci, 4sp. A State Trooper in a full uniform with a gun on his hip and one of the those big park ranger type hats with a chin strap sat in the passenger seat with me for that test ((that gun got me very nervous). I was shocked when he asked me to parallel park as I had never tried that before - lucky I just greased it into the spot without a hitch!

Great! that was one of the best things in my life, now go drive the weals off your Ford!

42panel · 01-26-2013, 10:04 AM

Congratulations! Drive defensively.

40 Deluxe · 01-26-2013, 11:53 PM

Just remember that there were no cell phones in 1949! Therefore it would be totally inappropriate to be talking or texting on one while driving!

50fordbob · 01-27-2013, 12:02 AM

Watch those burnouts in the 49. About 50 years ago while driving my first 50 Ford I took off from a stop sign in a very brisk way and snapped the left rear axle about 10 inches from the diff. It took me about 2 days to figure how to get the short piece out by using a coat hanger with a loop bent on one end. I have since learned that broken axles on 49-51 are not uncommon. I am much more careful how I drive the 50 I have now. Bob
