My dad took me out on all the worst roads in Ohio and Pennsylvania to train me to drive. 'Twas strange. My most terrifying experience behind the wheel was on this backwoods road in Pennsylvania, though, right after it'd rained, which was tiny and barely-paved and guardrailless even though it was hilly and a bit gravelly, and I went too fast around a corner and nearly spun the car around. I refused to drive home after that.
Silly! (Why do all these stories end with me wanting to say "Poor Ange!" (-;) When my mom switched back to automatic, she got in the car and when she went to start it, hit the emergency brake release since it was the closest pedal to where the clutch was meant to be.
Letsee... I'm actually quite a ways out of NC (I think it's about as far from here as Chicago is, actually). 15 hours to Savannah from where I am now, 20 from Chicago. And, assuming I get 25mpg (which is conservative, since I would rent a small car), from Chicago gas would be about $100, provided it stays about where it is now... which is unlikely, but I can pretend. Probably, oh, a tank or so less from here. (-: So... doable with the proper planning. And a job. Goshdarnit, I need a job.
