Last Tuesday was the most stressful day of my entire life. I had tickets to see my favourite band in existence. I had been waiting fifteen years to get the opportunity and finally it was time. I was adamant that I had to be one of the first people to get to the stadium. There …
I heard the saddest news yesterday. My heart aches for everyone involved. I can’t even imagine what it would be like and what it means for the lives of so many people… and the life of one person in particular. I am saddened to pass on the news that a young man who had freshly …
The year I was supposed to get my license I developed a medical condition that meant I could no longer drive. As you can imagine, this was pretty devastating as a seventeen year old who had been looking forward to driving ever since she got her L plates two years earlier. I had to watch …
Since breaking up with my girlfriend, I’ve found it difficult to do things that we used to do together. Even the most simple things, like going for a drive through the suburbs on a nice day or getting my favourite takeaway have become difficult and sad. I miss her and anything that reminds me of …
My Mum always says that the hardest part about driving is knowing where you’re going. Until I got my license, I didn’t truly understand what she meant. I thought it couldn’t be that hard, what with maps on my phone and street signs everywhere. It wasn’t until I was a fresh P Plater driving with …

I’m buying a second hand car that is still under its new car warranty. The people I’m buying it from are elderly and can no longer drive, so I’m purchasing it for an absolute bargain. Honestly the price is so cheap that when I drive it away, I’ll probably feel like I stole it. I …
My mother-in-law lives in a van. She’s not often the horrible in-law that you hear about, but the van doesn’t make it easy for us. The problem is, she doesn’t have a real place to call home. It’s great for her. Less so for us, because that means her default place to park the van …
Dang, this vehicle is seriously falling apart. Maybe it’s all the racing to work? No…that’s just a bit of fun on my daily commute, fun that involves the occasionally running from the law. But I’m a child of the 90s, so it’s fine. I learned from cartoon ‘Pretty Car Dealer Sailor Hoon’ that getting involved …
