Thanks for shedding light on why F-131 was chosen as the name :)

No you didn't.
Sorry, I am a Lamborghini fan, the better car. Damn car is a direct rip on Ferrari. They have a lower build quality and kind of remind me of a ibuypower computer. All flash no substance.

Yes, that is very true. Only problem is I can never find a place to learn, and I keep wanting to. Many people tell me to take a class and then they will administer the final driving test so I can get my licenses, but I never know where to go or call? :oops:

Edit: If you have any help, send me an email. :D

So tired here I had to read that like five times before I understood it! I own an SUV...can I claim that isn't a car? :)

I sent Dreamer info that may prove useful to others:

Absolutely!!! Quite a few options for you there in Houston...it wouldn't let me link the search results page so here is the page you can use to search in Houston.

Here is a description of the course; they are known nationally and supposed to be pretty good.

I'm happy to answer any motorcycle related questions I can

Now that is a strange looking motorcycle...can't say that I've seen one until now :) Mine looked sort of like that after a wreck a few years back ;)

:?

A wreck, were you just coasting at a minor 150MPH? :roll:

I will look into doing the calling & talking to people about getting a license, my only concern is I do not have a bike so I know you do not need one for the basics course, but..still probably should look into getting one, used of course as it will be my first.
