I gotta admit that driving my dads 8N when I could barley reach the pedals myself sure did help me out. I didn't have much trouble adjusting to automobiles when the time come and so far I have been accident free, but I did get to see some of the kids who lived in the village drive in the drivers education car in high school and saw why the brakes are installed on both sides of the car with good reason!. That experience is why farmers are the least likey of all the people to get in an accident according to statistics. Yes, there was a danger of the tractor possibly ending up bottom side up at the bottom of the hill, but then again, every time you get in your car and drive 50mph down the highway, think of how the cars in the opposing lane are also doing 50mph and a head on collision would be like a 100mph crash!, scary to think about all those things isn't it, but then 1 thing thats true about life is nobody makes it out alive, so you can stay at home and eat nothing but health food and not do anything "dangerous", and you will still die. I like that U.S military ad campaign that says "If someone were to write a book about your life, would anyone want to read it?". I'm not saying that I believe in living life like theres no tommorrow, but I do believe that life should be lived out alittle. I think we pretty much die when its our time and besides, that story was something that happened years and years ago, and the person wished to share it, same as I could come up with some stories about some stuff I did. If you really think about it, we all do things everyday that could potentially end our life, sometimes we don't even realize it.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
