I, like many Americans who have these same sentiments toward our fellow drivers feel that a casual stroll down the road can turn into a stressful experience that only leaves us wanting to run that Prius off the side of the road . The turn signals, the stop signs, the speeding, the slowing, the finger.... oh and much, much more - creates agony and stress that is quite unnecessary (especially for Monday mornings).
Did I mention I'm a high school teenager? Yes, that's right. Woah there - don't leave just yet - just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm stupid and reckless when it comes to driving. Sure, I haven't a lot of years under my belt, but I sure do make up for it in driving time. Let's just say I haul some serious *ss on my trip to school every day - a total of two hours to and fro. And it's not just one road. O no no. There's roads complete with country rednecks, mall traffic, five-lane route 50 traffic.....all sorts of problems. And the best part? I have no idea which driving disaster is going to happen in the morning. Could be the fallen tree, the accident, the slow driver, the dead animal....the list goes on and on.
To add to my driving resume, I've also had the pleasure of driving in almost every time of vehicle. For starters, I learned to how to really drive in my mom's big chevy suburban, or as I like to call it -The Tank. The Tank is virtually indestructible and when driven, must also have bright flashing sign to proclaim that it has the opportunity at any time to crush any car that is in its way. I heart the Tank. Next, is my dad's truck. Just your typical chevy truck, this blue and white bad boy is great for learning how to park because it takes up so much space. Once I learned to park in this, I could park in anything. Last but not least is a little BMW. Yup, that's right folks, I've had the luxury of driving one of those nice sporty cars down the highway. Granted, it was only two times and I was terrified I was going to hurt it in some way, but it was still a luminous drive. And finally my very own ride - a Jeep Grand Cherokee (2005). It's one of those vehicles that's right in the middle - not to big, not to small. I love it dearly and can't wait until the day I can finally upgrade to a Jeep Wrangler, my dream of dreams.

SO, I've ingeniously created this blog to share, and mostly vent about, all of my driving experiences and the crazy rules of the road and the crazy people that accompany it. So sit back, enjoy, and anticipate a mouthful of honest road rants.
