Oh no, what have I done...

[quote=""aaronatstate""]Drivers here in the south are absolutely terrible. Arkansas has some of the worst. I found out the reason a few years ago though when some co-workers kids were hitting driving age. There is ZERO required formal training in Arkansas. Pass a written test to get your permit, drive with your parents for a bit, take a joke of a road test, and get your license. You can even get a "hardship" license that lets you drive to school/work and back at FOURTEEN years old.

In Michigan we had to take a formal class (classroom and driving) in the summer that was 12 days long I think. Then after you passed that test and a written you got your permit that you could drive with a parent, but not at night at all. Then the following fall you had to take a second class (no driving). When you passed this you could get your level 2 permit, which allowed you to drive alone during the day, and with a parent at night. Finally you had to take a driving class with an approved instructor that was very intensive including questions during the drive, and a full parking demonstration requirement. After all of that, you could get your license.

It boggles my mind the shear lack of training that is required to get a drivers license in most states in the south.[/quote]

Hawaii used to be similar. I don't know what it is now but when I got mine... Permit at 15, no classes, road test 90 days later. Pass? Full unrestricted license.

The 1st day of the month that I turned 15 they implemented the 90 say wait before you could test. Previously I could have taken the road test the next day and gotten a license.

That is nuts.

Ohio. Permit at 15.5. Needed to log so many hours driving between parents and classroom instruction, and driving instructor. Unless I think over 18, then just need to take the test if I remember right. Test was written and driving. Both stupid easy. Drive was around a neighborhood, couple of lights and stop signs, then maneuverability. No parallel parking. Over in 15 min. Took the test in my mother's wrangler and then could drive anything I wanted that didn't require a cdl.

Still the same test almost 20 yrs later. https://www.bmv.ohio.gov/dl-driving-tes ... #gsc.tab=0

Nice! Cool that they stood by their work. Seems like it’s so hard to find good work these days.

[DCIV]

Sweet! When you selling it now. Lol

That's good. Did they tell you what they found?

[Chris GTO TT]

He said a retainer clip or something wasn't in place properly so it blocked out 3rd.

Did a headlight restoration today. They came out way better than I expected given these are like 196k old. I used the Cerakote kit.

Welp it might have knock

[DCIV]

What? Did you check the clearances while you were in there?

[Chris GTO TT]

I never split the block to even get there. I'm thinking I got some material from the cleaning into the oil and that's what happened.

[tabasco122]

Oh no

[ChargerX3]

Oh not good.

[DCIV]

I’ll give you 1500 for it.
