Reminds me of the time that my dad got to ride in back and snooze while I made the miles disappear across the southern part of Arizona on our way to New Mexico. During the return trip we listened to President Nixon resign - on our AM radio. It's been awhile.<br /><br />Other parts of your post differ in my memory. I distinctly remember that getting my license was a direct cause of my spending a lot of quality time in the back seat. ;-)<br /><br />Not alone either. Those were my teenage years and I had willing company. <br /><br />Might be why I was an enlisted guy in the Army. Or not. :D<br /><br />marcusMarcus Erroneoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11980868853284918078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-66611332132321389872015-06-29T18:03:00.004-07:002015-06-29T18:03:00.004-07:00Gots ta eat steak and Lobster!Gots ta eat steak and Lobster!juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-28767171035209615822015-06-29T18:02:02.030-07:002015-06-29T18:02:02.030-07:00I suspect you would have a distinct advantage, but...I suspect you would have a distinct advantage, but yes.
