In this 43rd year of my life, I'm finally trying to learn how to drive. I totally hate it and I feel that I have absolutely no sense of the space the car occupies and how it relates to things around and movements and all. I know everybody is doing it (including plenty of idiots who shouldn't) but it's just not my thing.
 
But this morning I stumbled upon a picture of this car and I figured that THIS would probably give me the extra incentive to learn to drive.

 
That's the car I want! A 1964 Cadillac Eldorado. Black, of course.
 
Pretty Batmobile-ish, uh?
 
:P 

You can keep your Eldorados
And the foreign cars absurd
Me, I wanna go down
In a Silver Thunderbird.

Good luck with learning to drive btw..my mother-in-law passed her test in her early '60's, so it's never too late.

Nice wheels but I bet that bugger would require a mortgage to keep the tank full.
 
Oh and it kind of reminded me of my Pepere's car. An early seventies Lincoln Continental. Thing was a boat which was hilarious because he was like five foot nothing (maybe shorter) and looked like George Burns. He could barely see over the wheel.
 
Also... it was powder blue. Even the leather interior. lol

Thanks. :)
 
I used to make every possible excuse to my wife but the we watched God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, and saw Ozzy driving... If the Ozzman himself finally got his license and manages to drive, any excuse I could come up with is pretty much nul and void.
 
I still hate it, though.

Lools like the perfect car for someone who has no concept of how big it is. Stay away from grassy knolls and I'm sure you'll be just fine.
 
On the other hand, if it's the batman look you're after, may I suggest this little beauty........

Actually, having been born and raised in the 70's, my conception of these cars is probably even bigger than they really are. I remember accidentally removing the safety break while I was playing around in my dad's car when I was 8 or 9 and going on for a nice little scary ride downhill...
 
Later, my grand father instated on giving me his car when he could no longer drive - even though I was the only one in the family who didn't have a license. That thing was huge, man...

I failed my driving test at age 17 because I got the days mixed up and my driving instructor arrived to pick me up the day before I thought it was. And of course, I was stoned. Apparantly my performance was pretty good, but we stopped at some traffic lights and I fell into a trance looking at the sun setting. Didn't snap out of it until the cars behind me were honking. The examiner said he couldn't excuse that lack of attention.

I never took it again, but I drove a milk truck without a license for a while at 19 or so, then drove again in my late 20's when I worked in sales. Wouldn't drive without a license again though, I hear it's frowned upon....and I've never felt particularly comfortable behind the wheel either.

Take as much time as you need to learn Rain.  My son Alex passed his driving test last year and we are his parents were required to have him drive with us for over 40 hours.  We also had to get him a professional driving instructor for 3 lessons and he had to sign off on him.  He was a retired L.A.P.D. officer that specialized in advanced driving skills.
 
Best of luck with this and remember to always watch out for the other guy and never take anything for granted as you drive.  

I never needed to learn to drive since I always had good access to public transport. I lived near a railway station and a bus station and could get to anywhere pretty quickly. But that was before moving from the UK to Australia. Here trains are slow and infrequent, and everybody drives except me.
