    Awesome, glad to hear that Jet460. My husband just started today. He's riding with a driver to learn the ropes. I'll keep you posted. :biggrin_25519:

    Let's hope I don't screw this road test up. I mean I shouldn't but who knows when you are nervous...

    No sweat. Tanks are only 42', I think, and corner easy. Don't worry.

    Hey how long was your road test anyways ? As in time, how long did it take ? . And what they have you driving , a straight 10 speed ? If you have any advice you could give me, please share. Because I think I am dying of a heart attack over here haha.
