I remember asking him how he got to drive at all (he always talked about cruising in his ride), he explained he had a learner's permit, I'm not sure what the conditions of this are (I think driving age varies in different states), but the way he talked it sounded like he drove his Tempo all over the place. Maybe it was just him making it up to sound all grown up, but then the place he lives in is probably such a remote backwater community that the local cops are so complacent they'll let kids like him drive, he once said he came across a couple of cops while out in his Tempo and all they said was "Nice to see youngsters learning to drive" or something. Wouldn't happen in England, I tell you, not even in the West Country.
