grew up in the country on the farm as well,,,
used to drive everthing we were told too,,, my grandpa had a truck stop down the road and on Sat. it was dump day,, had been helping him for years haul all the stuff off... got paid too think it was 2.00 for all day Sat. work...
one Sat when I was 10 or so he said "take the trash to the dump"
I says "want me to drive it there...????"
"well of course I'm to busy"....
so off to the dump I went.. no problems at all,,, one day had a freind with me, went to work and said "want us to haul the trash",,,"YEP"....
so we hauled it off, did I mention this was a 50' chevy P/U with a 283 installed?
it was used to push cars around the place and on weekends was seen at the local roundy track push starting cars...
anyway we were coming back and after doing this for a few weeks I got brave,,, floored it down the dirt road missed our turn slammed on the brakes cut the wheel hard left and wham there goes my bud out the door rolling down the ditch...
got back no worse for wear and grandpa says,, "thru DL out the truck didn't ya" HUH???
guess nothing can be hidden from Grandpa....
