Ford has a new safety promotion they are doing called “Driving Skills for Life” - it’s kind of like an online driver’s ed. There is a course, and a quiz. Score 8 out of 10 on the quiz, and you get 10 free songs from iTunes.
As a side note… on their rules page, I thought this section was funny:
OFFICIAL RULES: For a copy of the Official Rules, print this page
You can take the quiz as many times as you need to in order to score 8/10. The test is made up of radomly chosen questions, so it will be diffferent each time. I did it on my second try. Most of the questions I got wrong were related to rear-wheel drive cars.
The quiz is somewhat slow - probably because of a heavy load on their server right now.
I may have lost some of my touch from when I was a youngster. When I was 16 in my drivers ed class I took some extremely long test that went along with a video (as in, watch video - respond on answer sheet) - and I only got one wrong. The statistics from that test say that I should not have any accidents before I am 60. (I guess once I turn 60 I will start hitting things for fun). So far - that test has been right. Knock on dashboard.

You lame old man!
“15 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER AND 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER AT THE TIME OF ENTRY. ENTRY IN THIS QUIZ CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES. PRIZES WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SUPPLIES LAST.”
Give those young kids their iTunes back! Only available while supplies last, what’s that? Twice, or till Ryan’s automated quiz taker finishes cleaning em out. I’ll let the young kids win their iTunes…. plus I only got 6 out of 10….

Well, to be honest I never got the stupid songs because the server was way overloaded. I found this on digg.com - so I can guarantee you lots of people who were over 18 did that quiz.
Oh - this comment was sent from my crackberry. Cool, huh?
