I'm so thankful I was exposed to operating equipment at a young age. First the riding lawn mower, then go karts, dirt bikes, farm equipment, etc. I had thousands of hours of vehicle operating experience before I even drove a car. Then my parents told me I had to work a job and pay for my first vehicle. At the time I was annoyed since many of my high school friends were given cool cars and I bought a $3000 Jeep. Now I realize the blessing I had, because based on my experience with dirt bikes, atvs and go karts as a kid, my first car would've likely been put into a tree without that experience.
