See spot run.

The boy started Drivers Ed last week.  I went to a parents meeting that lasted nearly 2 hour long.  It takes 5 years for a new driver to get their licence regardless of their age.  Five years!  When I was a kid they kicked your ass into a car, told you to drive, and gave you a licence if you remembered to use signal lights when changing lanes.  Seriously.  Now though it's a gradual process --  4 hours a week of classroom time for a couple weeks until he gets his learners permit, followed by a further 4 hours a week of classroom time and 2 hours a week of driving time for another 6 weeks.  Talk about a time commitment.  He keeps his learners permit for a minimum of 9 months, followed by the road test ... followed by a year or so with certain limitations, followed by another few years with other limitations.  There are so many rules and regulations for each process that I've forgotten what they all are.  My point being is that my little boy will be driving.  Why, it was just last week he was 3 and asking for a cheese samich.  Now he's 15 and a half and....is asking for a new car.
