The Car Story

Nov 07, 2005 21:13

There a few things you must first know about my car before I get to the story.

A) It was built in 1987 out a single piece of iron mined from and asteroid.

B) It weighs 60 billion pounds.

C) It gets negative gas mileage.

D) The "check engine soon" light may actually a legitimate warning device rather than a ploy by car companies to make you buy more of their , parts.

During my daily rush to school there was traffic. There is always traffic on 65 going south at about 7:40 in the morning. That is what saved my life. I was cruising along at an unpleasant 10 in the left hand lane. I pushed on the gas to accelarate and realized, somehow, my car had turned off. I slowed down and put it in park and tried to start the car. Nothing. So there I was sitting in the middle of morning rush hour traffic stalled. I called my mom and she called the police. Unfortunately, I had single handedly slowed traffic to a crawl for three miles behind me so I had to wait in the left lane of 65 until the police and the wrecker came. They towed my car off and my mom brought me to school.
What is most amazing about this is that I will still get angry at people stalled on 65 at 7:40 in the morning because i will already be late for school. I will also ignore my check engine soon light becuase it came on as soon as I left the car shop this afternoon.
