Driving Lesson, 2.0

I just returned from my first driving lesson. Actually, my first driving lesson after five years. Yes, it's true: I am 34, and I am yet to obtain that pink, credit-card sized document. I have heard that in Alabama, not having a driving license by this age carries a hefty punishment.
The instructor is the same as a few years ago, Virgil (yes, we have the same name). The car is different, though; it was a 30-year old Dacia 1300 back then; now, it's a Matiz. From what I remember, the difference between the two is quite thew same as between Windows 3.1 and Windows 98. I'd rather have an XP, though (that is, a car with automatic transmission).

Warning: Tomorrow, between 8-10 AM, I will be driving in Timisoara. Please stay inside..
