Well, I didn't get a car before a license, but my British friend and colleague Eric did.
He made a bundle saving Exxon a couple of billion bucks in a lawsuit with Shell.
First thing he did with it was start a company selling the service that did the trick to
the oil companies. Made more money.
Second, he bought a Porsche 928. Third, he got a learner's permit. He let me
drive him around in the car a bit. Him: how fast are we going, I have no idea,
doesn't really seem too fast. Me: no, its nice and really smooth, 146, my Vette is rough at 130.
That's a nice thing about bean fields ... no where for cops to hide.
