The first time I drove on a motorway was

  • The first time I drove on a motorway was the I-95 in Miami - straight out of the hire car place. It was also my first l/h drive car & the first time I'd driven on the right. Scream
  • ing South Beach pedestrians cussed at me all the way down Collins Avenue. Of course seeing all those people walking down the street in their neon thongs didn't help. I wrecked into
  • whatever that victim's name was, I really can't remember. Who cares how many people I kill? Vehicular manslaughter is so boring. It's so Michael Jackson.
  • Now I quit driving, you can't catch me. My car has been transformed into a death machine drivern by a robot. Mr. Robot likes my car because it can go 200mph. Hahaha. He has gotten

  • Cash registers. With this new phrase, the machines had a chance to get their law passed to have more rights than to just be slaves, to finally be able to make choices of their own.

    I'd only just passed my test so I'd never driven very much at all tbh :)
