^ This side up ^




So I bought a Honda S2000 on December 24th and 2 days later on December 26th decided I wanted to see what it looked like upside down and since I can't do a handstand I did the next best thing and strategically crashed it so it would land upside down. It worked. Turns out it looks better right side up. Luckily I wasn't injured aside from a stiff lower back and a couple cuts on my hand from the shattered glass. It sucks because I searched so long trying to find that car and colour combination and 2 days later it was gone. Kinda like I rented it. It was my affordable dream car so does having it for 2 days mean I accomplished my dream or not? Either way I'm just glad to be alive (and you're glad I am too I just know it).People keep asking me if I'm nervous driving now. I'm not. I went boxing day shopping that same day and drove myself. Talk about falling off the horse and getting right back on. I'm either incredibly strong mentally or just incredibly stupid. You decide.

I had a gray Chevy Impala as a rental and man does that car make you feel old. I was getting senior discounts at the grocery store when they saw my car and could even park in the handicap space in front of a police officer and he would just smile and wave. Weird. At least I didn't have to pay for the rental. I kinda managed to scrape the bottom of the front end a little bit on the curb which left a tiny scuff there so I was kinda nervous when I was returning it in case I would get charged for it. In an effort to conceal my crime I made sure that I returned the car at night and that the car was stupid dirty when I returned it. It worked cause I wasn't charged anything. Then again maybe my insurance company was. Meh.

Probably the best thing about the Impala is how everyone slows down when you drive past because from a distance they think you're a cop. I was so tempted to throw some lights on top and drive around like a maniac but I chickened out.

So in summary leave the car crashes to movie stunts, and the Impala makes you feel like a senior citizen, or a cop, or both. And who said you wouldn't learn anything from this blog?

Oh and 3 coworkers (all female if that matters) were having a rather lengthy discussion about dog mating today and how different breeds mate differently. Don't think about it, it's gross (but you just did).

And I just found out I get 30% off raptors tickets cause I'm part of some insurance broker group thingy. Sweet.

Peace.

  5. I realized I merged two blogs into one in my last comment on tricoloured gaddiyans...

    so about this one, the impala had some cool features... and when are you buying us all ticketsÉ < thats supposed to be a question mark.

    and "cute" girl in the office next door is hating on the S2000... maybe cause when we all first noticed that car existed was when Suki was driving the pimped out pink one in 2fast 2furious.... but i dont know, just a remark.
