Hi. It’s me. The car you decided to practice your breathing exercises on the bumper of this morning.
Just a friendly reminder. The speed limit on Midway Road is 55 mph. I know, shocking. It’s almost like we’re not on the Autobahn. Also, there are deer out here — big ones, fast ones and the occasional “I have no idea what I’m doing” deer that will absolutely ruin your day if you’re treating the road like a racetrack.
If you’re running late, I genuinely feel for you. But, tailgating me won’t open a time portal, summon a teleportation spell or magically convince my car to break the laws of physics. It will, however, make me wonder if you’re trying to read my license plate number . . . in braille.
So please, chill.
Back it up.
Let’s all get where we’re going without involving roadside deer or our insurance companies.
With love and a very sassy side-eye,
The Car That Is Not Your Personal Pace Car
