On the subject of cars and driving...

How many of you older members had parents that both drove? My Dad was of the mindset that women had no need to know how drive, and Mom went to her grave at 79, never having driven a car. He wouldn't teach me how and wouldn't sign for me to take driver's ed either. My ex taught me to drive after we got married. I learned on an old used Opel Kadett that we bought in Long Beach, Ca. We were military, and he got transferred from CA to VA - piled all our meager possessions in the back and headed across country with me driving most of the way - with no driver's license! I finally did get it once we got settled in tho.
