my nemesis:
a chrysler new yorker circa 1990-something (or 1990 exactly, i can never remember).
it’s BIG.
i’m little (5’1).
i am terrified to drive this thing. especially with my lack of being able to turn corners. i have been learning to drive on a little civic. i hate that car. but they teach me to drive, what can i do? it’s been one year and 2 days since i got my learner’s. it’s valid for another 6 months and then i have to renew it. i should have gone for my test already to try and get my real license, but i haven’t been driving. why? i am terrified of our car! i haven’t driven since the end of october when i had my last driving lesson. the instructor made me feel like shit, telling me i’ll never learn.. blah blah blah. and in his defence i had only driven our car once in the time i was learning and that was in july…
after that lesson? the snow came. if i couldn’t turn corners in dry streets, i was NOT about to start trying in ice and snow. so i let shawn drive me around all winter.
BUT… last night…. i drove home from the mall. well… we were out for dinner and had to stop for gas. the gas station is in the empty mall parking lot. i thought.. hmm… maybe if i drive around the parking lot for a little while while it’s empty i can get over my fear.
so i did. and then… i drove home.
and you know what?? i could TURN CORNERS. woot!
maybe i can do this. maybe i’ll be able to drive the car without a panic attack a couple more times. maybe i’ll actually be able to book my driving test and take it… and pass. i really need to. i want to. it’s just that car is so damn BIG!
honey,look atit this way. the bigger the car,the more likely every other bastards gonna keep out of your way.
You have a Chrysler too!! I didn’t know that. I have a Chrysler. I always write about hating it!!! I hope I didn’t offend.
giggle. Just think of it this way – your car is so big that all other drivers must bow down before the greatness that is your car.
