Driving was kinda fun today?!
The kid got her permit Tuesday. We took her to the school parking lot twice and around the neighborhood once. So now she is accustomed to pushing the pedals and turning and hitting the blinkers. Today town is traffic free so its a great time to hit the road, we live in a smallish town. NOPE! We get a few blocks from the house and theres an intersection where its kind of hard to see(im aware before hand so im on a fuckin swivel). Its clear, we take a right, kid hits the left blinker then because we need to take a left again(its kind of an S deal because the roads are offset by about 1/3 of a block). This MFer behind us at the stop sign floors it around us on the left! WITH A DAMN BOAT IN TOW! I put a fuckin “student driver, please be patient” sticker on the back for a reason! Thank god when i yelled “hit the brake” she HIT THE BREAK! We called it day after we went the last two blocks to the gas station and i drove from there. It was about 12 hours ago now and i think my heart still no wants to jump out of my chest a bit! We’re talking about 6” farther into our left turn and my vehicle and his boat are totaled! Possibly his motor could have wound up in my cab? If you are reading this thinking “i camt even picture that in my head” its because that would be impossible!
