The events of today were 17 and a half years in the making. For today was the day I finally got to drive a car for the first time! My dad took me to the large, mostly empty parking lot of Northrop Grumman, taught me the basics, and let me have a go at moving the car forward, breaking, and making turns. I spent a good half an hour maneuvering around the parking lot. My dad only had to grab ahold of the steering wheel once, and it wasn't for anything huge.
I feel like I did a good job, and I really wasn't nervous at all. My dad thought I handled it very well and got the hang of things quickly. Add the fact that it was raining, and it calls for a Luke with a very big ego. Can't wait to get back behind the wheel again!
