Sunday, September 25th, 2011 • Filed under Cars1 Comment

Some people just don’t know how to take care of things. They’re the kind of parents who raises a toddler on a diet of Sprite and Oreos, then complain when he can’t sit down for a period of time any longer than 20 seconds. Then the kid grows up a little, inherits the trait, and tries to take his pet goldfish for a walk.

Don’t you wish it was easier to get that special someone’s number? No more cheesy pick-up lines, excuses about school projects, or hands covered in smudged, undecipherable ink…it would be SO much better if that hottie from science just drove a van with his phone number plastered hugely on the side.

Although it seems like a rather silly condition (“OH my flipping goodness, that creepy, bearded guy across the street won’t stop looking at me…and now his dog is, too!

Owning your very own car is awesome, but with it comes many necessary evils. One of them is the hassle of taking it to an auto-repair shop.

 Valuable Lesson Number Two: Not EVERY creepy person is a criminal. Most of us have been out and about long enough to see our share of whackos. The guy in the Chuckie Cheese costume?
