Once again, nothing particularly exciting happened today.I worked on my car which needs to be driven into a lake with the person who sold me the car tied up in the backseat.
I remember as a teenager, which wasn't too long ago, that I was overwhelmed with the idea of having a driver's license and a car. I was naive in thinking that all I would ever have to do was put gas in it and make sure I didn't hit anyone on the highways. No, there is a lot more to cars.
For instance, I leanred that Oldsmobiles do not respond well when driven like a hot rod. And that transmission fluid is a necessity in keeping the car running effeciently.
However I did learn that my father kept a .38 calibur pistol in one of the air conditioning vents in the Suburban I used to drive around town. The first and only time I got arrested I was 16 and was in the Suburban when the cops pulled me over. I was with some friends and had been smoking dope all night. We also had a fake plastic sub machine gun in the car which we were waving around and pointing at other cars. Well, needless to say once we got pulled over I shoved the dimebag of dope in the air conditioning vent next to the pistol. Luckily when the cops searched the vehicle for the weapon they found the machine gun and the charges of deadly conduct were eventually dropped. As for how the cops found out about us it doesn't take long for someone to notice a bunch of punks hanging out the windows of a Suburban with what appears to be a sub machine gun and call the cops on us.
Anyhow, so I was working on my car. I have been trying to find out why my check engine light keeps flashing even though my car has enough motor oil, transmission fluid, radiator fluid and so on and so forth. Everything checks out on my end. If it had been intended for humans to be able to travel at unnatural speeds we would've been born with, hell, I don't know. Don't get me wrong I love my car. Especially the fact that my car emits dangerous levels of exhaust. However it is a gas guzzler.
Today's moral: If you're going to do something stupid and illegal make sure you do it in a fast car or have some lube to help hide the evidence.
