I drive a bright yellow 2002 Monte Carlo with the Sports Appearance package on it, so while it's not really a sport car, it looks like one (and my insurance company likes to consider it one). To go with my "sporty" car, I have driving habits that like to match my style.... I like to drive fast and stop as little as possible (don't listen Deb and GP).
So, I'm on my way home from church (a whole five blocks from home), and I get behind this car going about 10mph!! I want to go 35mph and slide through as many stop signs as the lack of cops and traffic will allow. BUT NO!!! We have to make text book stops at all three stop signs.... stop, look left, look right, look left again.... move our foot from the death grip it has on the brake, and roll forward to the next sign..... zzzzzzzzz. Anyway, the car gets to the last stop sign, where I'm going to turn right to go to my house, and it sits there.... no blinker.... no indication that it's moving anytime before Christmas. I, being an "oh so patient" driver, decide to make my right turn and leave the car ahead of me to idle the afternoon away. Unfortunately, this is a four-way stop, so I don't technically have a free right turn. Didn't stop me though..... I snuck around and through, only to discover the car turning right with me. I really did feel bad that I cut them off (I know you don't believe me, but I did.... that wasn't my intentions). Imagine my horror when this car turned into my parent's driveway with me!!! YIKES!!! I couldn't even look at them. I wanted to crawl in a deep hole and never come out. I got out of my car, gave a quick glance at our "company" and rushed past my dad into the house. "Who are those people". Wouldn't you know it's two of my mom's customers (my mom makes custom draperies) dropping something off. I went into the kitchen and pretended I was VERY thirsty...... pert'near floated away by the fifth glass of water. I just couldn't go into the livingroom and look these ladies in the eye.
I might stop for a moment at my next stop sign.... just to make up for it.
