Since you can make a 4 wheeler street legal now...I wonder if you could take your license test on it? lol

DON'T take it in a manual unless you can't drive anything else. If you screw up and kill the car or miss a shift or grind a gear or roll back far enough to freak the tester out on a hill, they'll fail you.

Take it in the car you've been driving the most with your learners.

Best way to do it is:
Get the smallest car you can, like 2 door dodge neon(what i used)
Automatic-Like already stated why not.

I took mine in a 1988 Ford Econoline conversion van. That probably wasnt the best decision I ever made.

To answer your question, no it does not matter whether you choose to take your driving test in an automatic or manual. Your license is not transmission specific, and you will be able to operate any motor vehicle whether it be a manual or automatic under a Class D/C Georgia Driver's License.
You may want to look over the driver's manual provided by the DDS.

God, I hope Obama at least enforces an IQ prerequisite to get your license

Ah, the days. I DROVE my car to the testing area before I got my L's. The tester asked u brought me I said, nobody, myself. A long pause, then they told me. U shouldnt be doing stuff like that, it's illegal.

I took it in a manual car, and the tester kept talking about how impressed he was. Only problem is that an FC Rx-7 doesn't have a blinker stalk, but rather a small little flipper you use, the exhaust muffles the quiet turn signal relay, and the gauges are deeply recessed, so he gave me a "barely passing" for never using my blinker even though I used it every time.

have u had a learner's permit? Please don't start driving by yourself unless you've had some experience... something tells me haven't and you're only getting it because you are 18.

That's when you know you can drive, lolol. I'm a much better driver now that I have. And I can almost guarantee that I'm one of the best drivers on IA, lolol. Later, QD.

What facts can you point out that you are the best driver? And By best driver, do you mean on the street best driver or overall track/street best driver? I got few tickets, so QD>Milk on street.

First off, I said "one of," not the only. Secondly, there's a lot more to driving a semi-truck than it may appear. Driving up to Greenville, SC and back, doing nothing in between, is more strenuous than sitting in an office for an 8 hour period. Having to deal with idiot people in their cars cutting in and out of from in front of you. Having to manage your way through traffic. Having to avoid people that stop suddenly because they want to turn at the last minute. There's a lot of variables to constantly watch for when driving those trucks. Later, QD.

California Rig... Extended Frame.. That would've sucked. But, I have to agree, having your CDl does make you a better driver. The things they teach you in school transition into your regular driving. Such as watching 6-8 blocks ahead instead of 15 feet. Makes you more aware. You check mirrors more often and learn how to react in traffic better.

I definitely have a greater respect for semi drivers. I recently pulled my dad's double axle flat bed single car trailer in his work van. It was at night as well, first time towing. Whew. lol

Well, honestly, backing a trailer with a regular vehicle is a lot harder than backing a semi in some aspects. You notice every little bit of correction or turning in a reg. vehicle, where as in a semi it takes at least 10 feet before you will see any noticeable difference in direction.

Being 100% honest, turning the trailer around and backing it up my driveway was a LOT easier than I thought it would be. I think I have a gift for it though. My dad used to drive a car hauler (semis, I don't know the proper name) and my brother is also great at towing, the skills might be in the genes :ninja:
