I have been driving the same car for almost 10 years now so I don't have to learn to maneuver through a dashboard full of knobs and lights.

The mower was in the shed parked right next to two propane fuel tanks for the gas grill. I was afraid that if I started the mower in the shed, the propane tanks would explode and simultaneously ignite the fuel tank of the mower and the gas can and burn me to a crisp. I could not get the mower into neutral in order to roll it out of the shed without starting it, so I pushed it, skidding the locked tires until it was halfway out of the door, a sufficient distance from the tanks, said a prayer, and started it up. I lived. Yesterday I decided, being unemployed, that it would be nice to mow the grass for my husband. The mower was in the shed parked right next to two propane fuel tanks for the gas grill.

You really should get one, either that or send the husband for the gas like the rest of us seem to do!

First of all, you had me laughing through the whole thing. Thanks...I love to laugh. I also got a kick out of you driving your husband's car. This happened to me with my boyfriend. We had gone a football game and he had a bit too much to drink. I had never driven his car, but I wasn't about to let him drive. The biggest issue was the BRAKES. My older car, you have to feel the push when you brake. I mean they're good brakes, but there not touch sensitive. The Honda that my boyfriend drives is. Even a light tap on the brakes and the car stops. We drove home with me looking like a beginning driver with all the stop and go movement. My boyfriend on the other hand looked a bit green about the gills. On the positive side...he's much more careful now about how much he drinks when we were in his car:~) Thanks for this post and reminder:~) I can really identify with this post.

Oh that is fabulous!! I *am* sorry that you had such a hard time with everything, but the story of it all was priceless. Thanks for the laughs... you rock. P.S. My trunk latch is thisclose to my gas cap latch, so I have driven around many times with my trunk open. Hope that helps. HAHA LMAO!! Oh that is fabulous!!

Whew, I'm glad it's not just me. I try not to drive other peoples cars because it takes so long to figure out where everything is. I'm all against standardization on so many things but inside a car would be really handy.
