JoshParkinson Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 i rarely got to drive anything until i was 13 then i got to drive more and do more jobs and get to spend more time driving yeah my bosses dad was like that with my boss, but because he was like that my boss wanted me to learn earlier so that's why he let me drive so early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
