Hate to break it to you but technically you can get a car at any age. I actually bought my car almost a year before I got my learner's permits. You just can't drive it legally. In Ohio you get your temporary learners permit at 15.5 and you get your license at 16 if you can get all your classes and practice time in.

Hey, congrats DARKGuy! Long time no see around this place. Funny, it doesn't seem that long ago when you were celebrating your 16th birthday.

Edit: On the subject of cars, I hear that gasoline is about 12 cents a gallon down there in Venezuala. Is that true or just some rumor? I never did get me a car. I bought my first truck a year ago when I was 21, and it's completely paid for. Only problem is that I've been paying an average of $200 a month in gasoline for it.

Good performance is better than a good excuse.

Lol, thanks you all xD ^_^

Here you can't get a car, just a bike when you're 16 and driver's license for bike and car too, until you're 18, then you can get everything xD;

@Hyrichter: Maan!!! long time no see!! how've you been? haha xD yeah, like if it was just yesterday ... I can barely believe it ! - OffTopic about cars: Yay, a truck !! Hm, I really haven't checked but according to the news (17 Nov as I could find in the net) it says that the 159-liters gasoline barrel closed at $50.47 :/ since I'm not the one supplying gasoline to our car I'm not sure xD, but it might be :/ this entire country is messed up I tell ya

Congrats man! Btw, in the UK you can drive at any age you want without insurance, MOT, a license, or roadtax. When they catch you, they just ban you from driving (absolute genius), normally for less time than it would take for you to reach the legal driving age anyway. Now they can also crush the car you're driving ...... bonus if you stole it! I love the british legal system.

But more to the point, congrats. Can you gamble, drink and go to strip bars in your state at 18???

Happy Bday.

You can in alternating provinces in Canada... i.e. Alberta, Manitoba, etc. I have no idea why they did that. Otherwise it's 19

And in Alberta you can get your learner's driver's license at 14. Crazy!

I would recommend going to a concert near the week of your 18th anniversary of birth. I did, very fun.

Ah, 18. The one where you're finally recognized as a walking piece of meat by the government.

Congrats dude!
