| I drove for the first time this afternoon. It's weird but not too scary. I'm certainly much less nervous after an hour than I was before I started. I don't like concentrating that hard for too long though  _________________ If a man says something in a forest, and his wife isn't around to hear him, is he still wrong?

| The accelerator in the car I drove was really sensitive, and the area is pretty hilly, so I broke 70k once or twice, accidentally. I'm not looking forward to dealing with the gears in the manual, but I am looking forward to having better control over speed... _________________ If a man says something in a forest, and his wife isn't around to hear him, is he still wrong?

| david's car takes a while to gain speed, and the brakes are really good so it's a good car to learn in. except his steering sucks. it's really hard. i get used to my instructor's steering being super easy, but her accelerator is sensitive. i can't win lol. is fun once you get confident though  |

| ah fehrenheit to celcius. taken from condo conceptswell, suppose you have a fahrenheit temperature of 98.6 degrees and you want to convert it into celsius. you would first subtract 32 from the fahrenheit temperature and get 66.6. then you multiply 66.6 by five-ninths and get 37 degrees celsius. or to go the other way: you have a celsius temperature of 100 degrees and you want to convert it into fahrenheit. you first multiply the celsius temperature by nine-fifths and get 180. then you add 32 to 180 and get 212 degrees fahrenheit or if that's too confusing just google "fahrenheit to celcius converter".  |
