King of the Krashers.

Guys, let me tell you something about me and driving. I hate driving and living in Miami makes me hate it even more. I got my license this past summer (like late June). I wouldn't call myself the best driver in the world but then again, the reason for my mediocrity had been because I had very very little driving experience prior to getting my license (I wish they had given me Driver's Ed. in high school because Mother's make awful driving teachers), so I guess you could say I only really started learning was a couple months ago. I've crashed 5 times but none of them were really that bad. Lets take a stroll down memory lane shall we?
1) Crashed into a mini-van changing lanes on US-1. The guy on the other lane was going really first (he really wanted to take his kids to Chucky Cheeses) but thankfully there was no damage to either of our cars because I slammed my brakes real good so I nudged his car.
2) I scratched an Escalade backing out of a parking space. The guy wasnt there and I didnt notice until I got to my friend's house.
3)Bumped into some car while trying to squeeze my fat mini-van in a parking space. No damage either because I was going 1 mph.
4) Backed into a gardener's truck but this one wasn't my fault according to my friend's mom.

Mind you, all this happened during the summer. Around September I finally became a more compitent driver. Still, I must say I don't have the attention span to be a great driver. Seriously, my mind is always wandering. Anyway crash number 5 occured yesterday morning on my way to school. Some lady decided to make a left at the last minute while I was driving straight and she was going slow too. I slammed my brakes but I somehow took out her back bumper. She sped off and I went to go check the damage. Thankfully there was none or I would have chased her down (ENC 1101 can wait). So there I was standing on the side of the road, holding this bumper and instead of keeping it as a souvenier, I tossed it aside and went to school. This one was definetely not my fault either. I've been extremely lucky that after all these incidents my car is completely unscathed. I am the f***ing King of Krashing and my luck is incredible (or so I think. I may be speaking to soon). Okay, thats it for this week. Peace.
