Now I gotta work on hitting the 300'000 mark. Provided misfortune doesn't find me in a wreck, or the gas doesn't go so high that I have to swap it in for a vehicle better on gas, I should be able to get 300 thousand on there. Just keep my oil changed and all. :)

That's a lot of miles young man! What are you driving? Good to see someone who maintains their vehicle. I've always believed if you take good care of your car, it will reciprocate and not leave you stranded on the highway.

I have 104K miles on my Ford Ranger, still running strong...

A 1990 S10 with a 4.3L engine. I don't hotrod it like most young people do, I keep the oil changed every 3'000 miles, and I let it warm up before driving during winter. Just do that and it takes care of itself. :)

I also don't run the AC when in town; I hear it's bad on the motor. (Really I don't run it much at all). :)

Ah....none. ;) I don't have a car. :redface:

Now if you want to know the complete amount of miles with all of the buses I've taken over the years,
I'd say about the equivialnt of 10 trips across the U.S. east to west and back again! :eek:

Hey B ! I don't have a vehicle either...nor a drivers license!
lol

I'm in the same boat as you, Char.

No license here either,the only time I've "ever" driven is when others were trying to show me how. :D

I don't see how you can get around without a license. Your part of the world is different froom ours, I guess. :)

I get around on buses, walking, trains, subways, friends with cars. I dont'drive.
No license means no driving in this part of the world too.

You have to have your birth certificate to get a passport - driver's license isn't required.

I don't think you have to send all that in when you renew, unless they have changed the rules since 9/11. It was just sending in the passport for an "update" not even needing a new picture unless you were a child when the first one was taken.

I have a passport but did not require a drivers license to get it. That would be crazy. A drivers license as a requirement for the most important I.D. you have? lol

I can use the passport photo for photo I.D. here as well. Blockbuster Video requires photo I.D. to get an account...sheesh.
We cannot renew passports. A full application must be submitted again. I think it's still $95.00 for 5 years. Photo is extra and it better follow all rules or your application will be sent back. I had mine done by a qualified photographer but the image was very very very slightly larger than allowed...so it had to be re-done.

You're afraid of driving an automatic?? Why?? :confused: It may not have as much power as a standard shift, but it's easier.

Now OK Fading Away Come Clean
I knew that I had seen that picture of "your" A 1990 S10 before, so I made the time and inclination to battle the stoopid myspace rigamarole (yes once again it took time to get past their exceedingly picky and inept password "system") to refind it, and as you possibly intended I got quite a surprise when I finally managed to open my inbox only to find tnat your previous two handles had changed yet again so be a good young man and admit who you really are and what your game is.I was just beginning to accept that as "Fading Away" you had finally matured and were capable of making sensible comments here.
But just why did you change your handle from the "sober" type to "Doug The Thug" Dunkin'??

We've known for quite a while that Douglas and Fading Away were the same people, I sent you an email about that about 2 months ago.
I think his postings - so far - have been mature.
I would assume that you are talking about his handle on myspace as "doug the thug"?

It's "Doug Da Thug". Nobody needs an education in ebonics to know the difference between "da" and "the".

Come on. It's just a name. ;) But I'll change it again. Besides, you should see some of the other members names on there. :eek:

Just tried to login to "micepace", but it said something about the site changing to a 9.0 flasher, so I couldn't get in right now. :(

My pickup is over three years old and it doesn't have quite 24,000 miles on it yet. Hmmmm ?

Bill :)

What about if you've been married and your last name is now different than that on your birth certificate?

I expect that if you want your passport in your married name presentation of your wedding certificate could work wonders.
Or something

Keep drivin, it'll get there. ;)

Yes, you provide both birth certficate and marriage license. Believe me, you won't be the first person to do that!

If I remember correctly, a passport will be required starting in 2007 to cross the US/Canadian border. You'd better get started!

The last time I renewed, John and I went together. He needed his renewed quickly because a business meeting had just come up and he had let his passport expire. So he had to wait on line, and I went along to keep him company. Plus, we made it a real opportunity by renewing Douglas' passport. This just happened to be February, Feb 3 to be exact. Doug was turning 13 the next day. So the 5 year child's passport was good until the day before he turned 18 - and when he turned 18 he would need a new passport anyway. And, at 12/13, we could still get the passport for him; he didn't have to apply in person (althought he would have gladly skipped school).

The funny part about it all was when he went to Europe at 16 or 17, using his passport from just before he turned 13. The picture, a cute "little boy", who was now 6'2". Still cute, but definitely not little!
