Car Problems

Pandalove · May 2009

You may not find this funny, but it was hilarious to me. You have been warned!

So, my boyfriend is horrible with cars, -and that's an understatment- he has been having trouble with his Sicon, which is a stick shift, and a couple of days ago there was a truck in front of us, a really slow one. Well, his clutch was messed up and it had problems accelerating, well, he ddecided to go around the truck, when I knew he shouldn't have. And as we started going over the hill, (at 20 miles -.-) other cars started coming up, one of the cars swerved into the grass and passed us, and as we got back behind the truck there was an old lady shaking her finger at us. It was a priceless face. XD Then last night, we went to the mall, well he was driving his moms car. -which is automatic- and he isn't as use to driving an automatic, so while we where leaving he slamed on breaks, my head hit the visor and his hit the stearing wheel, he thought he was still using stick shift. It took me a minute to realize that he had slamed on breaks, at first we both thought we had been hit from behind. But, nope, he just doesn't know how to drive.

Oh my gosh, that kinda reminds me of a story my mom told me. When she was learning to drive a stick shift, she and her friend were going to McDonalads. Before the drivethrough there was a small hill. She'd go up and someone said "Welcome to McDonals, may I take your order?" And the car'd roll back down and she drove back up. "Welcome to McDonalds..." and it'd roll back down. It happend quite a few more times and finally she had to let her friend drive.

That's scary xD Don't you guys have to pass a test before you're allowed to drive a car without supervision?

LMAO! I think it's different for each state, but in Georgia at age 15 you can take and pass a test and drive supervised for a year and a day, then take another test to be able to drive unsupervised.

Oh I see, it sounds pretty similar to the system in Australia. Or in my part of Australia anyway. At 15 years and 9 months old you can take a theory test that allows you to drive under supervision, then after turning 16 years and 9 months you can take a practical test that allows you to drive unsupervised. I don't know why they bother with the 9 month thing and don't just round it up xD

Yes, he had to take an unsupervised test. I don't see how he passed. But, he's worse at driving when I'm not in the car, which makes me nervous. New story: Sometimes the cops in our town do car checks. Well, he was getting his wallet and everything out, and as he was going up he didn't have his foot on the clutch, so the car turned off and started rolling backwards, while there was cars behind us. And then when they where done with the car checks, a cop walked out into the front of us, and he was like two inches away from getting hit. XD

I feel so much better about my fears of being an awful driver lol. I think you should drive when your bf's in the car from now on lol

New story: :] We where driving from my house to his, and as we where driving there was a really old guy, and he pulled out in front of us, while we where driving between 40-60 miles, and my boyfriend had to slam on the breaks, and while we where waiting, the old guy stopped in the middle of the road, and started waving at us like "hey, how's it going?" 0.o

Howdy, Stranger!
