Geez been doing this 3 years and you make me Nervus

 

Hell I'm stressed out just from reading that!!! wow, calm down bro, i assure you the calmer you are the better you will do.. hell making me have a nervous tick lol

 

Slow and steady Belleye, you're gonna give yourself the 'piles' Once you're on your own you'll have plenty of chances to be in a hurry

 

Dude, you remind me of a student I had once. He used to jump about three feet high out of his chair every time the Qualcomm beeped. Relax, it is just a truck.

 

I used to get nervious on Road test. Then One Day the tester told me Ok here's the deal, Don't try to impress me, just show me that when you come to town if my 16 y/o daughter is on same road with you. I can feel ok that you won't be stupid and kill her.
Ever since I just act like tester is a co-driver and we are testing out a new truck. Helps alot.
