Cars

I drive my car to work. It is the most convienent way for me to get there. Too far to walk and the train is just not what I want to do since it is a big hassle, so I drive. And I get parking as a perk. It's great. But then again I am the driver and therefore it seems it is my responsibility to fill the car with gas.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem going to the gas station and getting gas, but I usually never have time on my way home from work and that means I either go out later to get gas, or I leave extra early in the morning to get gas on the way to work. And that cuts into to my hours at work. To go out at night, who wants to go out just for gas? I surely do not want to.

Other than that driving is great. I have been driving since I graduated highschool, and it is great. 17 1/2 and driving, what could be better? You got the keys, a set of wheels and off to wherever you want to go. Of course there is that gas issue again. Last one in the car needs to fill the car with gas, as it is rude to leave a car on empty.

How many of you share a car with other people and get stuck with the car on near empty and know you will NOT make it to your destination without fililng up? Doesn't it bother you that the driver before you neglected the duty to fill up the car after driving it all over town?
Well in my case, it is me. I neglected to fill the car up and now I am going to pay for it by filling it up at night or early morning.

I wish cars had this automatic fill 'er up mode. Whenever the car is near empty it would automatically fill itself up. You would never need to go to a gas station again and fill up yourself. You know the feeling when you are on a highway at 2am and you see that funny light go on and you really do NOT feel like getting off the highway and start searching for a gas station in the middle of the boondocks...in my ideal world, the cars would fill itself up with gas and you wouldn' have anything to worry about. You wouldn't even see the light go on. You would not know that the car just refilled itself up with juice.

I am not talking about the new car, the one that is half gas half electric. I don't understand that concept. Charging your car at night? I mean in Minnesota they charge their cars in the winter otherwise...byebye charlie. It wont work in the morning. But I do not live there. I live in a more centrally location where we do not need to charge the car at night so it wont freeze overnite. But we need to keep it somewhat full with gas so it wont stall on us when we really need it.

All this complaining about cars, I can just imagine life without cars. Naaaaah...I think I will leave it at this......
