how old???


well it's finally Friday! what a long productive fun week i've had! now time for a busy weekend! so i just had this customer leave our shop. this lady came in to get a smog on her 1983 Cadillac Eldorado with only 37,077 miles on it. i watched this lady as she drove into our parking lot and knew right away this was going to be an adventure! she parked in the handicap space and took up about 2 and half other parking spaces as well. i noticed as she was driving in that the front of her car looked like it had its fair share of "old lady driving over things that were not meant to be driven over" days! there was a big peice of plastic hanging and dragging from the front end of the car too. i was too scared to look and see what it was... you just never know! so the lady walks into the office and immidately starts going on and on about how she had been driving over and hour in circles to find our shop! i was somehow not surprised at all! as she sat in the waiting area while her car was being smogged she pretty much talked without skipping a beat or taking a breath. she rambled on and on about all the accidents she's had in her car and all the curbs and bumps she's hit (of course none of which was her fault!). finally when it was time for her to leave she asked me how old i thought she was! oh man, not a question i wanted to answer!!! i was like, ummm ummm ummm... finally she got impatient with me and said she was 80! she went on to tell me that she really shouldnt be driving and she doesnt know why they still allow her to have her license but as long as they let her she'll drive! she said her license don't expire until 2013. God help us all... until next time...
