Good metaphor actually. Lord_Leperman gave me talking to earlier, and I'll really have to try following his advice.
Semi-Rant: Incident from last week, but here goes:
I was accompanying my dad and aunt to a family meeting last week, when the car we were driving (borrowed from my grand parents) suddenly screeched and stalled at a U-turn.
Dad swore, and got the engine running again after a couple of tries.
Black smoke started oozing from the hood.
Dad was like all "Oh shit," my aunt didn't know what was going on, and I (in the back seat), grabbed my bag and dad's bag, just as he pulled over and we all literally jumped out of the car.
Then nothing happened. When I opened the hood - with dad watching several paces away - it turned out that the car's fan belt broke and was grinding on the alternator, which caused the smoke.
Most exciting thing that happened this month so far, though I don't think I'm riding a Nissan ever again
