it's an auto, the lumina was an auto, and i'm honestly not that great of a stick driver... .Angie, please forgive me... LOL

Not like it had been taken from me, no... but left it at home, sure, a few times...

no, he was a fucktard, and the coach of the damned basketball team... and who did i get paired up with fo driving lessons??? the fucking basketball team captain... and who do you think he chose favorites for???? and who do you think he flunked out the first time he took his test??? bastard...

39) Ever had your windshield wipers stop working?
um... no? wtf kinda question is that?

40) Ever lock your keys in your car?
once, with the lumina, had the spare driven to me in less than 5 minutes... no, the question is, have you ever locked your keys in the house? and then broken into your own house to get them? and then had the cops called on you for B&E in you OWN FUCKING HOUSE....?

44) Ever leave your lights on?
never long enough to kill the battery

45) Do you have a car payment?

hrmm, not really, no... i've either been in one, or i haven't... at this point, no middle ground...

49) Do you like driving?
at this point, it's a necesery evil... gas prices don't make it much fun, the car i have pretty much sucks, it's not the ride i want, and it's not even something i enjoy being seen in, but it could be worse.... point is, it gets me where i need to go, cheaper than the lumina did, if just a little slower.....

50) Do you like your car?
like i said... it's not my primo choice... but i like the fact that it doesn't throw a bitchfit once a month...
