My Secret 'Top Gear' Fetish

I blame my brother for this.He absolutely loves this British show,and he always,when he comes to visit,makes me sit with him to watch back-to-back episodes of it.Even my mom has gotten into 'Top Gear' in a major way.There's a new show (and sometimes repeats) on everyday,so she is never short of her fix.Now that I don't have satellite tv anymore,I haven't seen it in a while,and I have to be honest.I am having serious withdrawalls.

I will giving you the following reasons to make it clear to you why me being addicted to 'Top Gear' is so completely ridiculous:

1.I don't drive and don't have a licence.
2.Even though I work at a car dealership,I don't even know all the vehicles we sell.
3.I don't know anything about the function of a car,or what any of the little knobby things on the dashboard does.The only dashboard I use is the one on Blogger.com.
4.Finally,I hardly know any brand of cars.I know Ford,Mazda,Toyota,BMW,Mercedes Benz,all the big ones,and only by their little logos.And I don't know which ones are good or bad,because to me,they are basically all the same.

So yeah,my love for this show is a bit strange,but I think what makes it so utterly entertaining to watch,is the three presenters.Jeremy Clarkson,James May and Richard Hammond.They are like car obsessed little boys,with great comedic chops to boot.

Do yourself a favor,and check out this show,it really isn't just for car fanatics.It's also a hell of a good laugh!

Driving lesson...tonight!

Oh my word!I am so nervous,my mom is taking me for a drive in her car,and since I haven't driven anything since September last year,and wasn't any good then,I'm really pretty nervous of completely crashing her car or something!

My incredibly generous bosses have offered since I started working here,to help me get my drivers' lisence,and they would help pay and everything,because getting it is quite expensive.So,when I got to work this morning,my boss asked me how I was going along learning how to drive.I was too ashamed to tell him that I hadn't touched a vehicles' steering wheel since the beginning of September.

But that is all going to change tonight.I am going to drive in my momma's sweet little car,and hopefully not kill it (and us) in the process.Because my mom gets really angry if I do something wrong in the car,and before you know it she and I are yelling at each other like crazy and bam!The lesson is over.

Let's hope I can keep my calm and do this right tonight.I mean hell,if Britney Spears can get a lisence and keep it,I guess it can't be that difficult.Unless America's driving laws are somehow more lax than South Africa's.In which case,I'm getting a passport right now.
