Calling AAA and clean fingernails is great..but if it's 2am and you are in the middle of some unknown W. Texas side road taking a shortcut based on the garmin in the middle of a blizzard..you might not have a choich in the matter.
The basics really should be taught with drivers ed.
(remember home ec and wood shop classes?)
I tried to teach the ex who drives all over Detroit but she didn't want to listen to 10 minutes of free knowledge which would potentially save her life.
-She's always complaining about not having money but has a great job.
-She calls saying the red dash light is on. So she'll drive it an hour over to my place so I can look at it. I tell her to pull off the road immediately, walk to a gas station, and buy a couple quarts of oil, NOW, or she will be buying a new engine.
-The tire light is now on. (Oil still hasn't been changed). 15psi. I take care of that. Vac Wash wax. But I'm still the biggest jerk in the universe. I'm out. I'm done.
