THE DRIVE

The time is 0415 hours, it is cold, dark, and I am alone.

I was driving to work the other day when I noted that my battery light came on in my car. As my drive continued I exited 88th Ave and started my long climb up the Alex Fraser bridge. Once I hit the middle of the bridge my radio died. A few seconds later I lost my heater causing the windows to fog up. So now I have no heat, no radio and, lucky me, my window rolled all the way down in an attempt to UN-fog the window. Just after I rolled the window down, all my cars lights died and I lost all my system gauges. So as I was driving in the dark with no radio with my window fully rolled down I started to freeze. I started to lose all feeling in my hands while I said to myself "HOLY F$#K" a unknown number of times.

I finally made it to work and was able to park the car. Boy was I happy that I had never had to drive like that before.

So now the car is sitting waiting to go and get fixed. I just hope that I can get it from work to the dealership. I hope I hope I hope.

Oh the joys of car ownership. Anyone want a 2002 Civic, slightly used?

....after you get it repaired, I'm sure Sara would love to take it off your hands.
