What kind of car do you drive?

[NoJo]

I love it when you make me laugh.

was that apropos of anything? Or just a statement in vacuuo?

 

[Party Girl]

Please stay off my street

I know, I'm awful. I'll try to stay away from your street. I took defensive driving once.

Actually, I just had a deer attack my car recently. It was a traumatic experience. I swear, I would have missed it but it turned and charged me.

Now I have a deer-shaped dent on one side.

It REALLY pissed me off.

No you're delightful. Deer can do so much damage, Glad you weren't hurt. Now tell us how the church ran in your way!

 

[Party Girl]

Yeah, you couldn't go to church, then set light to the street cow without the fire spreading.

I know. Isn't it ridiculous?

But hmm, now I feel like the stereotypical bad female driver. *tries to look innocent* Let's change the subject.

Anyone else been in any funny/odd/weird wrecks?

It was apropos of your post I quoted, which quoted partygirl. Doesn't matter now. P.

p.s. you should know one can't joke in a vacuum.

party, Why do I have the feeling you look like Marylin Monroe?

(btw that's not me in my AV)

It's a veritable palimpsest!

Ah ... hmm. Well, that one WAS actually my fault. I was holding a milkshake on my way to my parents' church (a favor, for my mom's birthday) - because I have to have the sugar in order to stay awake - and my cell phone had somehow managed to sneak its way up my skirt during the drive (I "dance" to music in the car ... it's really more like wiggling in my seat) and when it rings, it also vibrates - I rarely hear it, so I carry it in my back pocket a lot. So it rang. And scared the bejesus outta me ... so I kind of threw my milkshake up in the air, and it landed on my shoulder and poured all the way down my chest. It was cold. It startled me. So I freaked out, then tried to grab the cup before it could do anymore damage, and tried to answer the cell phone at the same time ... well, I wasn't paying attention to the road anymore, and that's when I swerved and hit the church.

I don't. I'm not that blonde, nor do I make any kind of sexy little moue whenever people look at me. I just kind of do a silly grin or something.

You are sitcom material!!!! I love it.

Okay now the fire engine, you might as well go for it all.....

 

[NoJo]

Did the cow make a sexy moue just before you ran it over?

I don't think that one's my fault. They shouldn't have parked where they did, all hidden around the corner and everything. Neither should they have turned off the siren. That was my first time to total a car ... you know that whole part of the car from the headlights to the windshield? Like where the engine and all that is? Well, after that damn truck got through with it, that part was GONE.

The horrible part is ... that was the day after my 16th birthday. I'd had that car for less than 48 hours.

Brand new silver Mustang GT, black leather interior, HUGE stereo system - my dad talked my mom into putting extra sound equipment in the trunk and everything.

I loved that car. *sniffles* *wipes away a tear*

I'm not sure. It was kinda dark out.

You said palimpsest. Long languorous sigh...

 

[Party Girl]

Sorry, I was finishing a paper.

And now I'll finish my story, before I forget to ... my vehicular saga. For your amusement, of course.

Chapter 3: The Cow

*shudders*

It was probably one of the strangest experiences of my life - honestly.

Nighttime, driving down a semi-country road in Austin - speed limit was 45. I was probably going about 50-55. The road dead-ends in a T-intersection, only I didn't know that. There is also a sharp curve right before you have to stop at the stop sign.

I was talking to my friend Ally, in the passenger seat, and not really paying too much attention, went around that curve too quickly - sped past the stop sign, jumped the curb on the other opposite side of the intersecting road, tore through some barbed-wire fencing, crossed a rather deep ditch that the run-off from the road drains into, and barreled across this pasture until a cow very kindly halted our progression toward the rest of the herd.

Ally and I both leap out of the car, shrieking because we thought we'd been attacked by something large and fierce, and ran screaming halfway back across the field again before we realized we had to take my car back with us.

We made it about a mile, to a gas station. The the car kind of crumpled in on itself.

It was sad.

That one was a Ford Taurus - my third car.

The End

I'm thinking she qualifies for a free city bus pass. My treat! Especially if she's driving the same streets as I am, which it sounds like she might be.

*smirk* I already promised not to drive past any of you.

Smart-asses.

Don't get snippy, party gal. I was only teasing. But you can call me a smart-ass. It's the truth. You said you drive to Austin on a weekly basis or something like that? I probably drive the same streets you do.

Ever find out what that little black thing you're driving is called? I want to make sure I pull my cows in at night...just to be safe. I wouldn't want them to attack you or anything.

The smart-ass comment was a compliment. There was no snippiness involved, LoL.

Not yet. I'm leaving here shortly to go to a friend's house ... I'm going to try to remember to look at my registration or title or insurance thingie, whichever one it may be. *is now fiercely determined to discover what her car is*

Your friend wasn't willing to come to you? Even with the knowledge of your multi-car history? Some friend.



Well have fun and for all our sakes, BE CAREFUL! gawd, I sound like my mother.

~lucky

p.s. Don't forget to check the registration. Or most cars are tagged on the trunk.

No, no ... I didn't explain ... ever heard of the band Hoobastank? They're playing here tonight, and because one of my friend's roommates knows one of the band members, they very well may be visiting the house also.

Plus I live in a dorm the size of a walk-in closet (I'm not even exaggerating), so it's no fun to hang out here.

He only lives about seven blocks away, too.

Yes, Mom, I'll be careful. *wink*

I'll be here for another 10-15 minutes.

But if no more posts appear, you'll know why - and in that case, all of you have a wonderful night, and take care.

You're seeing Hoobastank tonight? Waaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! I want to go. Just got their new album three weeks ago and would love to see them play live. I've got a buddy in Austin...wonder if he'd let me stay with him. Hey, what's your buddy's name by the way? If it was the same person...

Well have fun and only be as careful as you have to be. I'm not my mother yet!

In another thread it came up again and again how most of us had a thing for cars so just was curious.....

For myself, I drive a fourth-generation Trans Am, third Camaro/Firebird I've had. I have this almost adoloscent thing for muscle cars.

Can almost blame my dad who bought me a Fiat Spider when I was 16, and then a Pantera (anyone remember those?) when I was 17.

Any interesting car stories out there?

I stopped by to say hi (had too much fun yesterday) and got sucked in. I also have this almost adoloscent thing for muscle cars. Hubby and I are selling a 69 Camaro and an 86 Grand National to make way for our newest baby, a 2001 Corvette convertible. That will make three Vettes at the Lily house, a 64 convertible for him and a 96 Collector's Edition for me.

Anyway, hi!

OMG OMG OMG OMG ... just got home ... had a great night ... had nothing to do with cars, though, so I'm going to start a new thread. My first, you guys, so (*rolls eyes*) let me be predictable and ask that if you participate, to be sweet to me.
