General Chat: August 2013

Okay, I'll wright a detailed description (as detailed as I can get) as soon as I update the RP I'm doing right now.

I'm 18 now!!! Woop woop!!! 

I finally got my driver's permit. Now I can drive at last! xD Ugh. North Carolina's system is so complicated....

My feet are so itchy I was almost in tears at work.  It was torture tonight.  It was torture last night.  I am not having a good couple days, and tomorrow will be even worse.
I'm just so done with everything.

Wait, you have to be 18 to drive in North Carolina??????

wait, seriously?

LONGHAIREDAELITA!!!! WE NEED YOU! COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT PLEASE? because that seems REALLY unreasonable.

Did you just wait to get your permit?  Or is NC just crazy strict?

No, you can be 15, but I couldn't get my learner's limited permit at the time because of some stupid nu uh none of that that has to do with NC residents. I don't even know. But yeah, I'm just happy I finally got it lol. Only con is that I have to have a licensed driver in the car with me for the first 6 months.

Yup, I know that feeling.  Ever since I got a real license though, I've been the go to person to get a ride to all our get togethers.

Lol yeah. I know the feeling... but then whenever someone asks you to give them a ride, they don't give you any gas money or nothing. It kind of pisses me off, especially in this economy.

Oh, that's not quite me, I always offer and never ask.  But that's because I get lonely all the time and so I like being surrounded with people I like and friends.

Well, I make a few exceptions with friends, but if I barely really know you, then yeah.

Yeah, I just turned 15 so i'm working on getting my permit now. (don't tell anyone but I already know how to drive.....considering i've been doing it for 3 years now.)

Lol I feel ya ^^^ I've driven for the longest, but I haven't gotten behind the wheel of a car for so long, about a year and a half.

Yeah xD my dad made sure I knew how to drive as soon as I could see over the dashboard. When I was 12 I told him I could see and i've been driving ever since.

So I got my new car yesterday.  It's brand new and just shiny, but I don't know how to drive it well cause it's a stick shift...

First rule of driving: always learn how to drive a stick shift xD

Yeah, well, I'm learning now   It's hard to start...

yeah, i know xD My dad had to buy a new gear box after I first learned.

Gear box?

I still haven't got my permit. Great going me.

It's turning out to be a good thing that I've got both a bow and a big mirror.

What kind of car is it, Cya? 

I've got a 2012 Mustang, and they asked me if I wanted a stick shift and I was like HELL NO!! xD

Yes, a gear box. My dad had to get a new one because I kept forgetting the clutch while learning I literally "grinded his gears." Most people don't know about gear boxes if they drive automatics because it changes gears for them. But in a stick shift, you press in the clutch to disengage your wheel's axel from the engine. When you shift the gears, it just connects your axel to a different sized gear that changes how efficiently the wheels use the power from the engine. If you forget to put the clutch in the gears are still turning when you try to disconnect and reconnect, so instead of fitting in they grind on each other and wear it down. So we had to buy a new gear box because I ground them down to the point that it was no longer withing safe driving regulations.

Oh...
I'm not a car person.  I just don't accelerate enough cause I'm worried about burning too much gas.

I think I'm gonna get a prius one day, and when people joke me for having a prius I'm just gonna laugh at them because they're not the ones who only fill up the tank once every month.
