how many times have i been able to say funny story true story?
and how many times has it happened to me on the way here?
too many times to count really. but i will get to that later.
but as for this time, i just spent a great night out with my samesie (my cousin bridget). she called me up a while back and said that she wanted to take me out for dinner for my birthday. it was tonight that we went. we went to the melting pot. this place is great. and perfectly porportioned and just so tasty, there was no food coma afterward, just a great contentedness. any way, this was an epic meal of deliciousness, and cheeses, and it was just great. been there twice and both times, seriously impressed.
anyhow, super good food, super good times, great conversation.. so when we were done eating.. we kinda thought to ourselves, what is benny's like on a thursday night? so we drive over to benny's (i was driving) and grab ourselves a drink.. hang out, and finish the drink. it wasnt super lat, just around midnight actually, but bridgie had to work, and kinda tired, so it was time to leave. so we go out and get in the car to head home.. well.. i turned on the car and pull away from the curb and about 2.5 seconds later my car is filling up with smoke.. a whole lot of smoke. like.. A LOT of smoke. and it smelled like burning rubber/plastic, groos. so i pull back over in another spot and get bridgie out of the car and roll down the windows and grab our purses. so.. after assessing the situation a bit, i call dad, just to confirm what was going on.
no flames, but a whole lot of smoke.
dad says that as long as i can park the car there overnight to leave it there and we will deal with it later, when it is light out. so, that is what we do. i pull it closer to the curb, lock all the doors and roll the windows almost all the way up, hell it stank, and i know i will need it to smell better later so i gave it a way to air out a bit.
dad had me check the fuses, there was one blown, but not one dad had just been working on. so that is good. so car is still downtown, i am home.
but.. my car was on fire! or not.. i didnt really see flames, but there was a fuck lot of smoke.. i guess i am just flabbergasted.
