These are the journeys I took today in the world of automobiles.

So my grandparents got a new 2013 Equinox LTZ with 1100 miles on it. Today we changed its oil for the first time. So we went to get oil, 5W-30 Mobil 1, and an oil filter. It needs a PF63 oil filter from AC Delco. The two places we went didn't have this filter. My grandfather has two in the mail but he doesn't like to change the oil with out also changing the filter. So we got a Perculator filter for the time being until the next oil change. He also had bought a valve for the oil pan to replace the stopper. Well because of new GM's brilliance they made the exhaust pipe go right next to where the oil pours out so this valve didn't fit. Another great design by GM makes it so you have to take off the plastic engine cover to check and put in power steering fluid. And the fenders go away too soon making the mud flaps he installed basically useless.

Afterwards I got another 45 minutes of driving in my moms car so I can get closer to my 50 hours for my licence. I made my first highway pass today! Impreza's are nice and balanced cars. Steering feels amazing and it turns well and stops really good too.

could you explain to me the process for getting a license In Your state? In my state if you are 15 you can get your permit, and 6 months later or when you turn 18 you can take a test and get it. If you are not 16 you need to take drivers ed and have 20 hours with your instructor.

You have to be 16 take the written permit test. You have to have 50 hours with 10 at night and 6 months with either drivers ed or a 5 hour class then the driving test and I think we have a written also. You have some restrictions under 18 but once 18 you get the full drivers licence.

ours is when you turn 18, or when you have been driving for 2 years (whatever comes first) you can have most of the restrictions waived if you need it for work or school activities (band/sports)

Our restrictions are really only for after 9PM. Also ours is only a Junior Licence until you're 18 when you get the full licence. You can drive anytime anywhere from 6AM to 9PM with one other person under 18 in the car or something like that and after 9 you need a licensed driver in the car with you.
