    I've driven for 8 years. I first learned to drive on my father's 2005 Toyota Hilux MT 2.0L. On my father's retirement, we sold that Hilux and decided to went nomad on cars to avoid depreciation cost on new car. We buy used car, drive it as our daily, sell it when opportunity came and buy another used car. We had fun doing that and sometimes got a little bit of profit.

    Cars we drove and sold over 3 years:

    Toyota Hilux 2006 2.0L AT
    Toyota Yaris 2008 1.5L AT
    Honda CRV 2008 2.4L AT
    Mercedes Benz B170 2007 AT (short lived, drove it and sold it in a week)
    BMW E90 320i 2006 AT (short lived, drove it and sold it in a week)
    Toyota Hilux 2012 AT
    BMW E60 530i 2005 AT
    Mercedes Benz S300 2009 AT
    Mercedes Benz E250 2011 AT
    Honda Civic 2011 AT with K20Z2 engine (currently daily driving)

    We are considering to keep the Civic and end the journey, but of course if better chances arise, we'll take it. Also, one of my family member is daily driving a 2013 Toyota Camry with 4 banger. I got to drive it when it is unused. I miss having a manual transmission and shift my own gear.

    I passed my second drivers test back in April, so I've been driving for a few months.
    I currently drive my mom's 2000 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

    I do drive, got my license in 2010, and now I mainly drive a ok 1970~ Volvo 244. And, to those wondering, that's why I have zero room in my trunk, it's filled with spare parts.....

    I wish I could drive, only 12 though.


    I have driven a rental car we got while my mom's car was in the shop once before.
    I was pretty good.

    Been driving for years. Started driving competitively since I bought MX5 in January, doing track days, Nasho runs, and skidpans. Adrenaline rush wasn't enough, so I got my motorcycle licence recently and will likely be bashing through the bush on a DRZ400. Road bike maybe in the future.

    I currently drive my mom's Toyota FJ Cruiser that imported from Japan and I planned to buy a BMW F11 550i Touring and do a project car.

    I am currently 16, and I am getting my license second semester this schoolyear. But I have driven at least 15 times. I absolutely LOVE to drive! The cars I have driven so far are a 2008 Ford Fusion SEL V6, a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero 4 Door Luxury model (beautiful car), an old stick shift Chevrolet S10 (I only went 30 feet and stalled 12 times LOL), a 2016 Chevy Malibu (has option to drive in sequential manual, and I always use it), and finally, the most powerful car I drove was a 2018 Dodge Charger HEMI (drove in sequential manual with paddle shifters), and that Charger was a beast. But the Charger's build quality was cheap. Every time I drive, I always wear my stepdad's leather gloves. They grip the steering wheel very well, and they make me feel like a race car driver. Also, i drive like a race car driver (instead of 10 and 2, I drive 9 and 3). Here are pictures of the cars I drove, same color, some even pictures of the exact ones i drove.
