Pretty sure I was way more excited than that the first time I rode my 110cc pitbike my brother bought me as a college graduation gift. I was far more excited than that the first time I drove my great uncle's Diplomat from the driveway into the garage at 14 years old.

My brother just bought a DTS, as he apparently needed something more mature and responsible looking for his new consulting job. Damn nice car, but I got in it to drive it and immediately slammed my left foot into the floorboards. No clutch pedal. Though a manual probably has no place in a plush octogenarianmobile like…
