i learned how to drive when i was 15. i'd never driven before or really watched anyone drive. so when i was driving on a dirt road at 30 mph and suddenly parked the car as we were entering on to the pavement(which screwed up the transmition) my dad yelled, "WHY THE HELL DID U JUST SWITCH FROM DRIVE TO PARK?" and i said, "drive and park? I Thought it was Dirt to Pavement!"
