In The Car
I'm not a great driver under the best of scenarios. I always park far away from places so I don't have to deal with parking by other cars. I've never once in my life parallel parked. I both work and attend classes within a five mile radius of my home.
Or at least I did, until this semester. This semester I have to take an art history class on the campus that's about twenty miles from my house. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, and it's not. But for me, it's much further than I care to drive. Especially during rush hour, since my class starts at seven.
So of course, tonight, my first night at this campus, it snows. Of course. Have I mentioned that I suck at driving in the snow? In my defense, it doesn't snow here all that often. I mean, it does. But not in great quantities. I sucked it up, cleaned my car off, and got ready to drive.
While I was stopped at the light leading out of the parking lot, I realized I forgot to clean my side mirror off. I rolled my window down, brushed off the snow, and rolled my window back up.
Only I didn't. My window was/is stuck.
I had to drive home the twenty plus miles in a snowstorm with my window rolled down.
I started off on the highway, but it was too cold and windy. So I had to drive it down the regular roads. All in all, it took about an hour to get home.
My car door is now wrapped in old towels and a trash bag.
My left side is still cold.

haha! oh Amanda! you crack me up!
Using trash bags instead of a window is the classy way to go!
What you should do is take your trashbag hoopty to a really upscale restaurant and ask their valet service to park it for you.
@Jess: I'm glad my misfortune amuses you ;)
@Avitable: Um, I'm always classy. You know that.
@Kevin: I like the way you think!
Yikes, that is NOT fun, no at all.
Oh and I consider myself a good driver, a very good driver but I HATE driving in the snow and I was born in the fucking snow. I've been petrified of it ever since I spun out on the highway once and ended up in a ditch. I'm ready to move to Hawaii now.
