Thanks Obama.

Should I punctuate this with a "global net jive" or a gif? I can't figure out which will come off as more self-righteous while still trying to smokescreen with irony.

My first car was a 72 manual 2 door Torana that I picked up for around $600. Pulled up at some lights one night and it just stopped dead. I was trying to restart it when I saw some weird wavy shadows on the road in front of the car. When I got out I realised they were coming from the fire under the hood. Turned out the fuel line had popped off and pumped fuel all over the engine which ignited and burnt out all the wiring and hoses.

I had a year 2000 5dr navy blue Ford Fiesta, had it for two years and my manifold completely fell off the engine so got that welded back up, then my rearview mirror fell off when I was driving the backroads, then my glovebox fell off on same road. Still loved her. Then I was going to pick up weed and I was coming off the motorway at 80mph, so I get on to the slip road and it's time to brake and my foot goes further than it normally does and I instantly know I have no brakes so I said in a weird calmness to my mates in the car "right lads, I don't mean to alarm yous but I have no brakes" haha, got my weed and went home. Still drove her for 6 months after that and she finally got scrapped as she wasn't worth repairing.

You shouldn't be staring at men while driving and texting at the same time. Bad idea. I am especially fond of the people who hop in the fast lane and pick their phone up and immediately drop down to 45 miles an hour. I always whip in front of em and proceed to do a brake check just to get their attention. I'm trying to be a better person, babysteps.

Lol. I dont ever use my phone while driving! Some 19 year old girl here was texting and speeding about 50km over the speed limit on a road, and she whipped around a curve, and lost control and her car was severed in two by a pole. IN TWO. Like the front end was 20 feet away from the back end. She was killed instantly. I feel bad for her family but not for her because she was being an idiot.

And people my age wonder why their car insurance is so damn high.

Well played bb. My boyfriends friend Roman has a TV in his car if he's stuck in traffic or locked out of the house!

The number of times while driving that people in oncoming traffic swerve in front of me because they are looking down texting gives me the absolute ****s.

Especially when it's a fully loaded semi.

Sometimes I drive right at them, horn blaring. Scares em right into submission. I wouldn't suggest this though.
