The Great Explorer
I found a new way to discover the city you live in.
Some may choose to go for a walk and see where the wind will take them. Others may prefer to buy a travel book and pretend they are a tourist in their own city. I on the other hand, buy a death trap of a car off my brother and get stranded in a random suburb nowhere near my house!
So here I am, leaving the city area during peak hour. I've just managed to make it to the middle lane of a 5 lane motorway and the traffic is managing to do 80km per/hour. 'Brilliant' I think, 'I'll make it home in plenty of time for the 'State of Origin'... PFFT!
This is the moment when all these funny lights start flashing on my fully lowered, fully sick Commodore bro'.
My car has conked out.
I'm frantically reaching for the hazard lights button.
I'm peering in my rearview mirror to make sure the car behind me isn't going to continue to drive straight over me, (when I say fully lowered, I mean fully lowered... bro')
When I come to a stop, I try to restart the car.... nothing.
*insert blasphemy here*
*and here*
Cars are swerving past me, the owners with their hands pressed firmly on their car horns and anger in their eyes. Like I WANT to be sitting in the middle of a 5 lane motorway with cars whizzing past me and the threat of someone running straight up my ass! Fuckers!
Eventually the lovely RTA men arrived to tow me off the motorway free of charge, *shout out to the nice RTA men!*, and dumped me in a side street somewhere in the Crows Nest area. Now, I knew it was an electrical problem with the car and I just had to wait it out and it would start again. So... I went for a stroll.
I found oodles of nice restaurants and great smelling takeout places that I would love to go back to. But the highlight of my night was when I found a Japanese restaurant boasting happy hour and a live Sumo wrestling broadcast!!!! Helloooooooo Kushiyaki! I dunno what you are but for $6.00 I can eat you, drink beer AND watch fat men in nappies do that funny dance. Money well spent i say!
I might not get my car fixed just yet... who knows where I'll end up stranded next week.
