Possibly ask to carpool with someone?

Looks like I broke my wrist. Finally made an apt and went to the doctors today to have it looked at. Confirmed with an x-ray. :injured:

Appointment Thursday. FINGERS CROSSED THAT I DON'T DIE ON THE WAY TO WORK. I've had some close calls the past few times.

Shit just turns off in the middle of driving, like "I don't think you understand, I'm not going to keep going, I am going to stall and then roll to the side of the road and you have to just hope that you don't get hit by the cars speeding down the road behind you. Then--I'm not going to start, just for shits and giggles, until you start to cry and put your face against the steering wheel. THEN, I'll start, only to stall out approximately 45 seconds after you put me into drive".

Trying a different route to work, less city-driving, less stop lights, hopefully less stalls.

If the car needs work and that is how you get to work that becomes priority for your efforts and funds.

Now that it's confirmed the 'cuda isn't going to be released anytime soon I'm considering it. The problem is I'm about to add 20 more minutes to my commute and I need to weigh the awesome vs operating expenses. That and I need to get a truck for my wood hauling needs. But yeah I've already been drooling over the thought of a hellcat. Also my challenger's name is Christa, because I'm awesome.

Well with 707hp and over 600lbs of torque your commute length would be a thing of the past! I'm sure your wife would be on board too, once you tell her it does 0 to shopping in under 10 seconds. The Christa reference is lost on me. Is she some porn actress or something?

Plus the exhaust sound alone is bonerific.

This car makes me think of the car used in the beginning of the book Snow Crash.

The Deliverator's car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or Burb beater, the Deliverator's car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens.
