21 here, and not a scratch on my driving record. 4 years of no claim bonus, too.
And yes, I own a manual and hate driving autos...boring as bat shit. But on the way back from Yanchep last weekend, I got rear-ended at a set of lights (yeah, it was a woman driver). Only had that car 2 months, and I get its arse bashed in.

Damn man, that's fucked-up luck. Could be worse mate, at least noone was hurt. How much did that number-plate cost? I thought you were a Wallaby supporter...

No, Latch...and what makes it worse, is that she's a friend of ours. I was in the car with 4 other blokes, so when I got hit, I was all ready to go and rant at whoever it was. Four guys behind me, I was happy to pick a fight with anyone. Then it turns out to be this really nice girl who one of the guys in the car was trying to pick up...she's in my honours class, too, so I see her all the time.
Ella, I had $500 in the bank and told my folks I was going to buy whatever I could get for that...they bought me the 626 so I'd be driving safe. It was partly a 21st present, and partly money from a trust fund. On a side note...I now officially love the RAC. I took my car in to their centre in Perth this morning. Got out, the girl there asked me for my odo reading, checked that I had a bit of fuel in it, and sent me in to the reception area. 5 minutes later, a taxi picked me up and drove me home, care of the RAC. When my car's ready, another taxi will drive me back out there, and I'll drive away. I'm mighty impressed!

been driving since for nearly 12 years now.. 1 redlight, and one warning for doing 70 in a 50 zone..
as for driving manual..i bought a suzuki sierra about a year ago (yes i taught myself how to drive manual when i bought it) ..goes like a whistle..not the fastest things on the rd, but definately fun and bumpy to drive. my fav car ive had so far, and i even have a brand new vw golf, but id rather the sierra any day!

When I was working on the road (security tech) in a work supplied van, I got down to 2 points, then pretty much drove like a paranoid idiot until I got some back... no licence, no job. Now I'm in the office and drive a little shitbox that couldn't break the speed limit in a downhill school zone.
