Yeah, I get that a lot. My father tells me I'm a 40 year old trapped in a 25 year old's body. I chalk it up to my interests and an unhealthy childhood obsession with chess and computers. I could still tell you "Back in My Day" stories if it helps though. "Back in my day, our portable gaming handhelds didn't have backlit screens! In fact, if we wanted to play 'em after 7pm, we had to do it by candle-light!"

For real? I assume you tried learning on automatics, right? What has been the problem for you in learning how to drive?

I learned how to drive in a crappy 2006 Toyota Corolla. I tend to think that I'm a proficient driver now, but I still struggle with busy metropolitan areas (like Boston). I've had the luxury of driving various vehicles since then - I test-drove a few Lamborghinis before (which was awesome), I've driven a couple Lexus vehicles and now regularly drive a Mercedes. Unfortunatley, I started with a Dodge Stratus that almost killed me several times (tie rod breaking), and then moved on to a Mazda 6 (that I somehow escaped death in after a full on collision with a moose) which I totaled, and now I'm on to Mercedes. Let's just say I've learned a little bit and drive very slowly during the night now.

I learned in a manual, but that wasn't the problem. It's basically the degree of alertness you need in car traffic, I'm quite the dreamer and I find it very hard to keep focussing on everything that's happening around me. On a bike it's different because you don't go as fast and the stakes are lower of course, although I did crash into a parked car twice when I wasn't paying attention
Did the totaling coincide with the moose accident, and was the moose ok?

Only other person I've ever heard use that expression is about 55 years old, so I suspect that your dad's assessment is about right, SgR !

That refs a couple of recent posts in the "What are you reading?" thread:-

Spoiler for Ursula K le Guin exchange:

I get the feeling that you used to have a different name, SgR, but I'm not sure who

I think Fluff is another young poster, but Marie must surely be one of our younger mods.

Yikes, I hope you had insurance. I'm guessing you live in an urban area where owning a car isn't strictly necessary?

Yes, I totaled my Mazda when I hit the moose. The moose was most certainly not OK. I was a little shellshocked after the incident, standing on the highway in the middle of the night, with glass shards in my hair and down my shirt. As I looked ahead, I saw the moose on its haunches, trying in vain to stand up. As I locked eyes with it, it was almost as if we both had a shared sympathy for the other, like a collective "I'm sorry this happened". He dragged himself off to the curb of the road eventually, trying in desperation to return to some kind of normalcy. After I called 911, the state troopers were sent - they deemed him to be a lost cause, so with one shotgun shell to his head, echoing into the night, that moose became history. Poor bastard.

I like Fluff, but not sure about the age.

I suppose I've talked too much to old people. I don't remember where I picked up that expression, but it wasn't from a schoolyard. I try to soak up the wisdom of old people, like a sponge, while blunting my olfactory senses so I don't pick up the pungent smell that always seems to permeate old-folks home. It always smells like impending death.

Unfortunately, I believe you're mistaken. I've never had a different name on this site. That said, I've wanted to change it before, but I've come to embrace the irony a little bit, considering that I could give a toss about Soundgarden at this point. I was around 14 or 15 when I signed up here.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Alright, I believe you. But I don't have the title anymore. Take it up with Marie. I gave it up willingly, but she might be a different story.
