Oh the joys of using the weef's car while she is out of the country. My first experience was my car was out of gas so I got in hers and it was out of gas. Explanation: she didn't need to drive for the next three weeks. Since I knew how far my car would go on empty I decided to drive it and was successful. The next day I made sure I left early enough to put gas in her car. Fast forward a week. Due to the fact that gas companies think highly of their product I have decided to drive her car to save money while she drinks tea and eats scones with the Brits and misses me greatly. (She has been awesome and left me suprises almost everyday. She is pretty awesome.)
Now on with the rest of the story.......
So it happens to be a rainy day today I do the whole turn on your lights while driving in the rain thing. The only issue is that it was day time and my weef's car is not like mine...I forgot to turn the lights off and her lights don't automatically turn off like mine. So needless to say "daisy was no daisy at all, she was too high strung" (Doc Holiday) and was dead when I went to leave work. The security guy said he didn't have a car so I went and found a co-worker to give me a jump. All was well again.
As I was driving to put more gas in the car I remembered that my brother-in-law drives the same car a different color but still the same car. I have decided that it is a family issue with this type of car although I am thankful I did not experience his ordeal (see his story on his blog). I am shaky about driving her car tomorrow but I value sleep more than having something go wrong so I will play car roulette in the morning and hope to win. So to you men out there that think about driving your weef's car while she is gone or get the crazy notion to trade cars...just say no.
