I drove a tractor at age 10. I went on wheat harvests with my dad's family every summer from age 10 to age 17 driving combines.

I drove a pickup for the first time at age 11 because Grandpa and Uncle Jim went to a bar, got drunk, picked a fight with two guys much bigger and younger than they were, and no one else would go get them. Grandma died still mad at me for that; she wanted them to spend the night in jail, and we were supposed to leave for harvest in two days. Jail for them meant no harvest, and I wanted my share of the money.

I got my learner's permit on September 24, 1990, and scored a 93 on my driving test September 23, 1991.
