uh, everything

mainly the idea that i could literally crash into something and die a fiery, burning death (likely killing/injuring a number of other people in the process) at ANY MOMENT

or vice versa (someone crashing into me)

and people consider driving "fun"

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

I'm used to country driving. Really, really don't like driving in crowded city areas. My absolute worst?

Losing complete control on ice. When you slip on ice, you always have some degree of control. But in some instances, you just don't have the time. There are multiple things that have almost killed me in the winter while slippling on ice.

Going to cross a busy highway, and finding all four of my tires spinning, moving me nowhere.

Slipping on ice towards oncoming semi drivers.

Trying to stop quickly for animals that could kill me on impact (Moose)

Slipping on ice, off the road, towards the nearest deep body of water in the field.

I know how to control things. But seriously, fuck that feeling of driving on a curb hidden by trees, and feeling your vehicle slip towards the semi rounding the curb. FUCK IT.

The most fun things are the ones that end in fiery explosions

Hitting a Kangaroo.....not only is it sad because theyre beautiful creatures, but they can deal some damn damage.

Also, night driving with trucks is intimidating.

Really just driving at night since I have light-sensitivity. It really sucks when I'm blinded very often and I'm struggling to see the lane divider and the side of the road.

Those mother fuckers with white halogen lights that can blind your eyes from like 10 clicks away. Jesus fuck it feels like approaching a military roadblock.

But Verb. If you have the technical knowhow you can make a steam powered vehicle. Wood powered. Bio fuel. Electric. Mechanics. Such an intriguing field.

So many alternatives to just gasoline.

Right, transportation in the US is sadly something borderline being a necessity. I would never drive if that wasn't the case.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
Having to change lanes on busy af roads always fucked with me a bit.

Nowadays driving is usually a pretty mundane experience for me, but I do still worry about some of the terrible drivers around here.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
Car cluttered due to slow drivers

Oho but I'm not talking about buying a whole one. Besides. Current gen electrics are ripoffs, frankly. They still use gasoline. In fact, the electrical systems only kick in when you're sitting in rush hour traffic line ups for the most part.

No, no no. Never buy in one piece. Talking about construct it yourself. Scrap yards are your friend.

You obviously dont have to go to work, it's the lifeblood of the world for a reason. If I had the luxury of living in the city, I wouldnt drive though.

Well, if you live like a few minutes away, then good for you, I wish it was that easy for me, but I generally have to drive an hour to work, I think it just came out wrong, but most things in life require you to drive, gotta pollute that air man.

i mean, i'm not employed, so maybe there was a miscommunication there

i'm saying my fear for driving is SO intense, that i'd wake up at 5:00 AM and walk ten miles to my job
i really would

but since i'd probably kill myself doing that, i have to learn how to drive
and it's gonna suck

at least if i fucking die, i won't have to worry about it anymore, huh

You know what's nice Verb? Country driving. It's a damn relaxing and easy way of getting familiar with a vehicle without being morbidly afraid of driving.

Driving in itself isn't so bad, once you learn to be comfortable with it. Of course, you also can't be too comfortable. You are, after all, driving a decently sized metal box capable of causing severe damage. It's just like any tool, really. Learning how to properly use it but maintaining your head about it.

Don't worry about it. It won't suck. You just need to use your head about it.

I bike mostly around busy roads and the downtown city area.

....yeah.
I'm constantly worried that some idiot that isn't paying attention will hit me. I bought lights for my bike, but literally 2 days after getting them a hobo stole them off my bike and ran away when I noticed the motherfucker.



Solution acquired.
