now i'm troublefree n no one asks me for rides anymore. partly because i hang with a different crew now and most of them have their own cars. but also cause they know i have a 2 seater and won't even bother asking for anything, while i'm just laughing in my head. yes i'm a jerk like that.

both myself and whoever is riding in my passenger seat now can sit as far back as we want without ever thinking about dealing with moving our seats forward and the shelf behind the seats is good enough to seat a girl's large handbag.
only time i regret it so far is when i go somewhere with my parents, i can't take them in the z so i drive the suv.

my friend that i sold the integra to just ran into that problem a few weeks ago after going to a bar driving 2 girls home. 1 of them threw up on the outside and inside of the door and carpet. pained me to hear that happen to the car. stupid fat --beep--
Its funny reading this cuz I'm livin in tx now but I'm from Crooklyn. When I began reading where u were going with this story, I knew u had to be from NY. Shifted the screen n to my accurate perception, you are. Most people in new york don't buy cars due to insurance rates, traffic and high risk of theft/damage. But when you buy a car, you become a taxi service. Some people try to take advantage. When I had the monte and grand national it happened all the time. When I switched to the mazda rx7. It stopped. Lol.
I never changed my friends though. I just simply said no when I couldn't or charged them for gas when I could. Lol.
The trick to giving a ride in NY is do it when you have a quarter tank or less and make them fill u up or at least put half a tank. Lol. Eventually they stop asking.
