test2

So, driver's test went well this time. We managed to get there five minutes early, after much panicking on my part, and the test was surprisingly easy. Just a bunch of turns, backing up in a straight line, and a three-point turn. I passed, no problem ^^

Came home, had dinner, had my previous plans for the evening cancelled, and then decided to take 'my' car out for my first solo drive (people who know my family's cars, 'mine' is the red '92 Honda. You know, the one that keeps breaking). I did fine until I decided to pay a surprise visit to Anthony, who lives over a very big hill from me. I got part-way up, and then the car just started dying. I was in the highest gear, and it just keep going slower, until I pulled over and cut the engine, at which point smoke starting coming out from under the hood. Got the hell out after putting on the emergency brake and lights, and called my mom. After a few minutes the smoking stopped, so I opened the hood and waited for her to come. She tried driving the car, and didn't have any problem, so I dunno what was up with it. I got to take the minivan out for a while, though, which was nice.

Ah, I so fail at cars XD
