Right before we started our Junior year DMV was foolish enough to give me my driver's license and my parents were trusting enough to give me their beat up 1967 Volkswagen Bug. I had 3 or 4 friends in the car with me on the way to marching practice at Ferris one day. Practice must have coincided with football practice because when we pulled into the parking lot there was a very cute football player standing in the grass with his jersey on. Even though I am pretty sure he had no clue I existed I thought I would impress him with my hot ride and attempted to pull into an empty parking spot very close to where he was standing. I was so busy watching the football player's reaction that I hit the gas instead of the brake and flew up over the curb missing him by yards!!! The hardest part was backing down off the grass and back into the spot trying to convince everybody I fully intended to do what I did. Unfortunately, my driving abilities didn't improve much that year!
