Driver's Ed For me would be in the Summer/Fall of '95(book portion over the Summer, Driving in the evenings/weekends after school started - LATE August Birthday.) - might have been '94...
The HS had 2 Drivers ed cars, a second Gen Taurus, and a Plymouth Acclaim. My Group got the Taurus.
Took BOTH* my road tests in Mom's 93/94? Chevy Corsica. I know it was a 4cyl, auto, but beyond that.... I knew Jack about cars back then.... I can tell you it was white with a blue interior, and was a TANK in the Snow.
* passed the book test, and maneuverability first time with flying colors. on the Road test I apparently blew through a stop sign i never even saw.... instant fail. had to wait 2 weeks to try again. second time, it snowed the night before, Different tester, Different Route, passed with no problems.
my real "Learning to Drive" time, by myself after i had my license, through the remainder of HS was evenly split between that car, and Dad's 93/94 Ford Aerostar, 3.0l Vulcan, O/D Auto, RWD.
not long after graduation, Grandpa Died, and I got his '87 Olds 98. Mom bought a new '99 Taurus, and My Big sister got the Corsica.
