cyranoThe good news is that I can turn on my windshield wipers with the best of them.
The bad news is that it took longer to change the tire that I blew than it did to take the test.
I took the right turn onto Showers out of the DMV, cranked the wheel too far and smashed into the curb. Within 20 feet I had failed the test. I do not yet know which Saturday in July the DMV is open, but I'll make another appointment and try to fail less egregiously.
On the up side, Ellie came and saved me, and Jay and Silent Bob made me laugh a lot.

Date: 2002-06-15 05:54 pm (UTC)I hate that I'm terrified by this, and I hate feeling weak because I can't handle something that is so central to my culture. And I hate that a part of me uses this fear as a wedge to attack me. But I will be damned if, before this permit expires in August, I will not have beaten this minor, yet symbolically significant, hurdle.
