tell us an amusing story
about something that has happened to you.
one day i was coming home from work. got to a red light, where i needed to turn right. there was a car ahead of me, and it started to go, so i started to go. i bumped into it.
i got out to see if there was any damage. a scratch. on my car.
but the other driver was angry and yellin "don't you have any sense? you are a big idiot" and other mean stuff.
so i'm standing there, not looking at this woman, who, by this point, i am afraid has rabies.
then she hollers "i'm gonna tell mama!"
i finaly looked at her. it is my older sister, coming back from picking up her new car.
halarity ensued, at my expence.

Re: tell us an amusing story
I got my first car while in my late twenties. I was so tired of taking the bus - the sense of freedom of having a car was amazing! The car was a Honda Civic, you know the original really small ones, which is funny in itself because of my body size.
One night I was drining on the 401 across Toronto returning home early in the morning when I heard a big thump and my car died at high speed (timing belt broke). I pulled over as carefully as I could and managed to avoid getting into an accident - thank goodness the traffic was so lite.
I thought luck was on my side when a tow truck pulled up to take care of me. It was one of those ones that patrol the highways. Cell phones were around then, but weren't common. He hitched me up and away we go - for a few kilometers!
All of a sudden the tow truck has trouble and he has to stop! He calls another truck and we wait. It shows up and begins to hitch up our tow truck!
My driver and I are in the front tow truck while the new driver lays down in the towed tow truck, which is towing my little car. he has to lie down because its illegal to be in a towed vehicle, for safety reasons.
So there we are - a tow truck towing a tow truck towing my Civic. LOL.

Re: tell us an amusing story
Hehe, ok, it's my turn.....
Now, keep in mind, that I had just gotten my licence on an automatic car and have never driven a stick shift......
I once had a boyfriend who had a 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe...Shiny black, fast as hell and a stick shift, it was gorgeous and I wanted to drive it so bad I could taste it.
We went to help one of his friends move and the place we were going to was on a hill. He had to help his friend drive the truck, so I got to drive the Tbird, finally!
We got where we were going, I had groung the gears a couple of times, but nothing serious, so I thought I was doing good....till we got back to the hill....no one ever told me you had to DOWNSHIFT to go UPHILL....especially when the speedlimit was down to 30mph from 50 mph....I just could not figure out what the hell I was doing wrong, cars backed up behind me for two blocks.....I kept pushing the clutch in and revving it up and it just did not want to go...when I finally got up the hill.....20 minutes later...my boyfriend asked "What is that smell? It smells like the clutch burning" I said, I have NOOOOO idea, it was running fine.....2 days later...he had to put a new clutch in the car... 
To this day, he doesn't know what happened to that clutch....lol
But I'll tell you this...I know A lot more about cars than I did then!!!! And I know you can't climb a hill in 5th gear doing 20 miles an hour!!!!!!!

Re: tell us an amusing story
i took my boy to a concert for his 12th birtday.
while wierd al was singing "one more minute", he pulled a pair of hawwian-flowerdy silk boxers out of his pants.
and put them on my head! the kids were thrilled. i was embarrased.
how many of you can say you have been forced to wear a strange man's underpants on your head?
