Car stuff
I got three new tires for my car. That sounds weird but that's what I did. I was origionally going to get two new tires, I could only afford two of them. So I made an appointment for Saturday (yesterday) and before that happens, my parents get a rebate thing in the mail for, like, $50.00. So they let me use their credit card and the reabate slip so I CAN afford an extra tire. That leaves me with one bad one. But I feel better now that I've got three new tires on the car. Then, I find out that it'd be a good idea to replace the belt and get some other stuff done on the car "Preventative maintainence". I was told that I'll be OK, that it's not an emergancy, just a good idea. And they can be done a little at a time. So... I'm still gonna drive to MI in August (weekend of the 15th-17th) and worry about the other shit later. Apparently, it's a BAD idea to add radiator fluid to a car just by dumping it in. I should get it clened otu or somthing. Yeah, right. Like I know anything about that shit. All I know is where to put it and what happens when it's low. Sorry, I'm not car-smart. And I don't really have a lot of money. But apparently, I didn't kill my car so that's a good thing. :)
Also, I'd like to complain about moronic drivers. See, I'm one of those annoying people that actually drive the speed limit. I know that pisses people off but I've got good reasons for doing this:
1)I've never in my life had a speeding ticket and I'd like to keep it that way (that would save money).
2)I have a cute little kid in the car with me most of the time.
3)I really, really, really don't want to hit anyone.
So... anyway... I HATE PEOPLE WHO INSIST ON TAILGATING AND THEN FLIPPING YOU OFF AS THEY PASS YOU B/C THEY'RE PISSED OFF THAT YOU'RE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. Really. If the person in front of you is going too slow for you, check to make sure they're going the speed limit. If they are do one of two things a)deal with it and stay where you are b)make sure it is safe and legal to pass them (ie no one is in the way, there's no double yellow line preventing you from passing, visibility is OK, pavement isn't slick...). If you choose to pass for some reason put on the turn signal, give them a chance to do that and pass them. Just pass them. DO NOT flip them off or give them a dirty look. I mean, I don't go "slow" to be annoying... most of the time anyway. If 1)visibility is bad I may go slower as MOST people should 2)the pavement is slick I go a little slower and break a little earlier (I'm talking about five miles slower btw). 3)If I'm looking for a certain street and I'm unfamiliar with the area I may have to go slower. It's NOT my fault if I don't know where I'm going. 4)If the person in front of me is going slowly and it's not safe or legal to pass them I will be goign slowly. But I'm NICE about it. I am AWARE that you I am being tailed. I either (if it's safe and legal) 1)speed up or 2)move over a little so that they can pass me. If they don't, I even stick my hand out the window and wave them around me. If they refuse to pass me (and they can, they'd just rather tail) then I'll get annoying. I'll slow down. If the cute little boy isn't in the car with me I'm prone to slamb on the breaks (oops, thought I saw a dog in the road) I'll move around to make SURE they can't pass me. Nothing super-dangerous. That's about the only time I get annoying.. when they have NO REASON to be dicks.
Am I passive agressive or what?
