What else can you drive?

Recommended Posts

I have driven or do drive......

1. Airplane. (private pilot SEL)
2. Tugs towing airplanes. (F-4's and F-16's)
3. Racecars...dirt and paved short-tracks.........I pushed off in a winged sprint car once. (just to warm the engine, no hot laps.....unfortunately!)
4. Race karts. I haven't tried a shifter kart yet though.
5. ATV/motocross.
6. Motorcycles.
7. Tractors.
8. Forklifts.
9. Mules, golf carts, and pit carts at racetracks.
10. I did Driving 101 at Nashville Speedway if that counts.......155.34 mph 'cause they wouldn't let us go any faster. :(
11. I can drive an IRL car (Indycar) through the pits while it's being towed by the pit cart if that counts.
12. Boats.
13. Jet-Ski/SeaDoo/AquaTrax etc.
14. Horses........but I prefer something that doesn't have a mind of its own. (although I'm convinced my first racecar did.)

I dunno what else, but I'm sure I'm forgetting something.......

Oh, and if Zeemax's "Desk" counts.....I did/do that for live stuff.

And no, I can't drive a parachute.....yet. (1 tandem jump doesn't really count to me.) I must start AFF when it warms up......I don't want to add COLD hands to the list of stuff on my tiny-little mind.

Unfortunately not this Christmas season. I assume there are boogies all year round so you can expect to find me at at least one in the coming year and I will certainly bring my clubs.

my handicap is Cerebral Palsy and I play from the womens tees:P.

<---------- reading those drives and thinking did I open my mouth only to switch feet?;):S

All the standard stuff. I guess the more unusual things I have "driven" would be Suzuki GS 550 2 stroke with 135 HP, M113 APC, M1 tank, Bradley APC, 2.5 and 5 ton military trucks, I have flown MANY a differen't kind of airplane (Although I STILL haven't finished my damn Private ticket.:D) Even flew an F 16 block 40 and an OH-58C under "Supervision." I remember one of the guys poking a bit of fun at the fighter pilots with a "9000 Hours" patch with a picture of a Humvee on it.
