Because this happened to me today:

293. You get passed by a Cement Mixer. He is behind you, moves over, passes, you, and then gets into your lane in front of you because you're not going fast enough.

And last week.

294. You pass a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. And your engine isn't even on.

That was fun. Must've been a car show or something. They both had raced past me and stopped at the red light ahead, I timed it right, and didn't have to stop, passing both of them while they were stopped and I was at 35 MPH in EV.

295. You spend 5 minutes on your computer to write out a "Do's & Don't's" list that you've posted on your dash before turning your keys over to the Paint & Body shop.

(I didn't say repair shop because they don't break down, right?

) I wrote my list out Monday morning before I handed my keys over to get some dings fixed, the guy looked at me like I was nut.

297. You drive a friend's non-hybrid car and literally feel pain while idling at a stoplight.
