    Exclamation Taking a big risk


    I'm letting my girl drive my X to work next week so I can drive her Mazda. It will save me a bunch of money on gas since she only has to drive five minutes or less to work. To where I have to drive 53 miles one way lol. Please pray for my X lol.

    I told her if she doesn't believe me when I say I trust her now, she never will. And she still keeps saying you really don't trust me. I just nod my head and say ok woman, whatever you wanna think.

    oh lord. you're a brave man.

    girls also are lazy as fuck and like to park as close as possible to their destination, which results in the maximum amount of door dings.

    Or either stupid lol. She's only going to work and back home. Her and her co-workers ride together to get food. So that's one less trip and less time for fuck ups.

    You know, it's funny. I do construction work for a living currently, at least until I can get back in to school and get my two degree's. I'm a glazier, I work with glass. Anyways, I've worked on four different job sites since I've had the car. Parked on the construction sites and never got a scuff mark. Knock on wood of course. But yea, I'll probably have some dings after this week. Just liked the cunt that hit my car and fucked up the passenger fender when I was in walmart getting groceries last year.

    There isn't much pedestrian traffic or mini vans with 10 kids swinging doors wide open at construction sites, now are there?! :P

    if you have an evox and have to drive 100 miles a day to get to work, you should be able to afford a second car. I've always had a second car to avoid driving my fun car to work and my job is 10 minutes away.

    I can't imagine a brand new evo getting bad gas mileage if you don't drive like you're racing everywhere you go.

    Shit, it's gets anywhere from 10-23 mpg at the most being easy on it. I usually average 280 miles per tank. When I got the car last year, I was making 18.50/hr plus gas money and money to eat on. about four months after I got the car I was laid off. I worked a few temp jobs here and there because there wasn't anything permanent to be found. Then I was out of work completely for a few months til I got hire two months ago with glass work again. I only make 13/hr now. I am the bottom man on the totem pole again so I don't get shit. The plan was to get a dd to save gas and mileage, but I lost my job and had to use the money I had saved for bills. O and Toxxic, there are a lot more dangerous things on construction sites and non-driving women and kids lol.
