60k

After a small fortune paying for the 60k tune up, my car had a birthday. I'm sharing this with you so you'll know how silly I am. When I pulled into garage my odometer said 59998, but the 8 was halfway to the 9. Soooo, I decided I wanted it at 59999. I backed down the driveway and pulled forward, backed down the driveway and forward, backed down the driveway and pulled forward again. (Yes, I really did.) After realizing it hadn't moved the 8 to the 9 yet, I looked down the street and thought, "I bet I can drive to that stop sign and back and it will be at the 9." So, I pulled out of the driveway drove down the street and sure enough it changed to a 9. Now I'm thinking, "BUT WAIT!! I have to turn around and drive back. What if it moves the 9 half way to the 0??? SHOOT!!" I got back into the garage and the 9 remained still.

And THAT ladies and gents is the insanity that Doug lives with everyday! LOL

Hahahaa. I seriously have done that!!! Too weird, but ironic. I used to celebrate the birthdays of my corolla...now its just a peice of metal that I drive. IT is getting too old. When it gets to 100,000 though I will be sure to make a nice cake and eat it too.
