I laugh when I rev my Neon, just because it sounds so pathetic lol. But with 20,000 miles, 30+ mpg, and 40,000 miles left on the warranty I can't complain.
Same with my car.
It was so bad, because I was out with my friend one night, and he was driving my car. Well this cocky little kid got in the middle of the road and sat down. Im just kinda like "Come on man, rev the engine". He is just like Nahhhh it sounds like a damn kitten!
I dont know, you kinda had to be there..
And now for my driving--
Tonight, at about midnight, I left my girlfriends house. I was supposed to be home at midnight, but I wasnt because we had this big ol talk thing going on. Well I was doin about 45 in a 25. I come around this corner (mind you im in a Mercedes geared for anything but snow/ice/loose gravel.), and there is this big ass truck. I dont know how I knew it was a Dodge Ram 3500... Hell, I even remember it was Maroon. But my point being is that I cranked the wheel, as he is comming up, and I was going down the hill, on a corner, I brushed right by his side. I couldnt have been but a foot away from him. At this point im doing about <40. I didnt over correct, but when I did corrent, it slid the other way. And then slid one more time while doing a final correction. Im still hauling ass scared he will turn around, even though I look in my rear view mirror and see him stopped in the middle of the road.
But damn, was that ever a lesson for me. Lesson one, dont speed. Well more of less dont do what your car cant do, but still speeding ive now learned is hell of stupid. Two, leave on time so you dont have to be in the position of speeding. Three,... I told my girlfriend "As long as you promise me to be safe in your car, I will be safe in mine". I kinda disgreguardeded that. She knew I would be late, and still made sure I wouldnt speed. Now I just feel HORRIBLE for going against my, and her word. So that also gets me.. Three things.
Man... I really need to watch it now. This experience has definitely made me straighten up.
