BBQ: part 2

O churrasco acabou pelas 21h e eu esperava chegar em casa as 21h40. HUM.... eu nao sei dirigir - pra falar a verdade eu nao sei nem ligar um carro. Uma vez na Reta da Penha, meu pai saiu do carro e me deixou cozinhando dentro do carro, eu queria abrir a janela e sabia (bom..achava que sabia) que eu tinha que rodar a chave um poco. Rodei a chave e o carro ligou!! Quase caguei dentro do carro e nunca mais liguei um carro de novo. A quantidade de pesadelos que eu jah tive, sonhando que tava dirigindo....Preciso de meses de terapia pra superar esse evento...enfim- mas sei que estrada com buraco pode furar o pneu... e FUROU!!! Por UM segundo eu nao falei "SUA ANTA!!". Nao sei como eu segurei... tava muito na ponta da lingua. Eu fiquei muito mexido na hora, nao sei porque. Quando o Chris saiu estacionou o carro e foi ver se estava mesmo furado eu tava cruzando os dedos pra que o pneu nao estivesse furado...
A sorte eh que por aqui tem um negocio chamado Triple A, aconteceu algo, voce liga e eles mandam alguem - em Vegas Doug Funny nao colocou gasolina no carro e ele teve que licar pro Triple A -. O Chris estacionou o carro no acostamento da Freeway 101 - eh uma das freeways mais movimentadas da California - e os carros passando a mil do lado do acostamento - lembrei de Videos Incriveis que passa na Band no sabado a noite onde o carro do acostamento eh atingido por um motorista bebado. Fiquei muito tenso durante todo essa espera pelo cara da Triple A, soh conseguia lembrar dos Videos Incriveis. O cara chegou, mal falava ingles coitado, nunca vi alguem trocar um pneu tao rapido e a gente voltou ao caminho de casa! Toh bem nao tah!?

The bbq was over around 9pm and I was supposed to be home around 9:40. That is "I WAS supposed to". I cant drive - due to a childhood trauma I never wanted to learn how to drive, and also because a driver`s license in Brazil is ridiculously expensive. When I was a young teen my dad parked the car and it was too hot, so I wanted to open the window and I knew I would had to turn the key a bit...well I did and the car bounced for a second as if it was on and about to move. I panicked. I`ve had so many nightmares about driving... anyways..- but I know that if the road is full of potholes you shouldnt drive fast and Chris did and well, there you have it. A flat tire! I was so scared for some reason. When Chris pulled the car over and went outside to check if he really had a flat I had my fingers crossed he didnt.
The good thing is that everybody seems to have this Triple A card. If you have a problem on the road you call them and they come rescue you - Doug rent out of cas in Vegas and I was like "are we walking until the next gas station??", a triple A guy saved us-. So Chris called the Triple A thing and 30 mins later the guy was there - all I could think about was that show "The Most Amazing Videos", where they show candid videos of horrible things happening. And they often show a car pulled over to the side of the road and a drunk driver hits them really hard. All I could think about was that damn show! I knew I was going to be hit at any second!
The Triple A guy was super fast. I`ve never seen anyone change a flat tire so fast. After all this saga... I made it home... safe!
