The girls agreed wholeheartedly. Fear was now our companion. We maneuvered the car around on the highway--there were no other cars or lights anywhere in the vicinity. Our only relief on our way back was the dark humor we enjoyed about the sinister laughing of the gas station attendant carving another hash mark into the backroom once we'd left.
All day, every day. Every time you're on the road, every time you take your car into the shop, every time you step onto a car dealer's lot, you're taking an action that could affect your insurance-and, by default, how construction-proof those auto insurance happen to be.
Some of the most expensive claims come naturally from the most expensive cars. A rare or prestige vehicle is often worth a lot of money. But when you have a major claim for a ridiculous reason, well that takes the cake. A Lancia Delta Intergrale is from a stable of vehicles described as one of the best rally cars in the world. So a successful vehicle would naturally be well cared for and protected from the elements. In this case the owner did just that but somehow a team [family perhaps] of mice got inside the car and chewed its seats and door linings to bits. That's both bizarre and costly.
In the grand scheme of things, use your head. It's easy to fly off the handle when something didn't go your way. We tend to exaggerate things when they're bad and diminish things when they're good. That's just human nature, which is why nobody takes a second look at a boy scout helping an old lady across the street but will cause a traffic jam 10 miles long when they see a five traffic pile up on the Garden State Parkway. God I avoid that road like the plague if I can.
https://sanxuatsoda.company/ and Prejudice - Read it first, because not only is it wonderful, it is her most famous book. In fact, truly one of the most famous novels of all time. The characters are so full of life, they very nearly leap from the page. This is especially true of the heroine, Elizabeth Bennett. For the best movie version, try the 1995 BBC epic with Jennifer Ehle (another American, no less) as Elizabeth Bennett and Colin Firth as the quintessential Mr. Darcy.
Avoid tail-gating on the freeway, and do not drive with your high beams on. If you can, avoid the roads during these conditions, but if you must drive, drive slowly, with caution, you may want to roll down the window a bit, and turn off your radio, so you have better hearing conditions. Fortunately it has a tendency to burn off by noon, and is not a nightly feature in the winter. Also, if flying into Sacramento, you may want to avoid early and late flights in the winter season, because of this weather condition.
Number six requires you to shoot your tee ball through a window of trees, with anything left taking a swim, anything right heading into the forest, and anything long finding a creek. If you do avoid all that, you're left with at least a mid-iron into a well-bunkered green. We both got our money's worth here. Hansard headed into the forest while I took a swim. Long approaches came up short, and after a poor short-game display, I shamefully penciled in my first double of the day.
Be careful with loud radios and music. Once I had music playing loudly and I did not hear emergency vehicles around me. I could have collided with one of them. From that time on, I always kept my music to a moderate level.
