Just got my license friday, and absolutely love driving my ranger, just wanted to share! These forums have been incredibly helpful, so thank you to the mods, and to everyone who participates and contributes

 

That's cool Pat. I remember my first day with a license.

I've "been there done that" and have two children older than you. A word of advise.. Don't get over confident in your driving skills. Nearly everyone is cautous at first. But when they have been driving 3mos to a year is when it'll happen. Stay alert every day.

You ever mount those KC lights?

congrats drive safe watch out for the other guy and dont be a moron, best advise ever. and try to pay attention. dont need to wreck your truck and dont get cocky. every kid i see do these things wrecks a car.. be safe!

^^ that was the mom and dad speech...

 

Sorry for the extra post.. But I just feel motivated to share something.

Don't take warnings like this lightly. I told my son the exact same things time and time again. He did'nt listen.. and here is what happened.

Keep it between the ditches for sure, and don't be the "cool kid" and try to impress your friends with trying to break land speed records..........1) it's a truck, and 2) they arn't the ones paying for the repairs.

Just some helpfull pointers. Oh and one more quick thing.......If ANY of us hear about you drinking and driving....well I guess it goes without saying.

Now go enjoy your new found freedom and the Ranger.

 

yea ive had mine for two years now, and im still not very experianced, although the diffrence in how i drove when i first got my liscense to now is like night and day.... they teach you the minimum and once youre actually out there its all diffrent because theres no one with you... i used to hate driving through this shopping center area because it was 'way to crowded' but now i can drive through cleveland in rush hour without much of a problem... the more you drive the better youll feel.... and dont get any tickets, ive had zero accedents and tickets...

 

thanks guys for the advise, support, and encouragement. Rocky i did get the lights up, they're awesome, love them, thanks, had pics, but they were too big couldn't post. rich sorry to hear bout your sons accident, I'm sure he's fine now, but thanks.

yeah, dont go out trying to impress people...just use the truck to get the women. All this advice is great. I remember when i got my license...nice to be able to get in and go just dont abuse it and remember..people are stupid so be defensive and have a great time

 

Yea be careful man. Ive had mine two years and Ive had no tickets or accidents either. But that dosent mean I havent had any close calls. I think someone else said something about it, but remember...you drive a truck. Theres no need to show it off. People notice it. Its not about speed...
