But still teach her some basic stuff! My dad told me on my 17th birthday (that's when we get licenses, here) when I asked about getting jumper cables and stuff "You're a girl, just call me or AAA" and never taught me anything about cars. I have, to this day, no idea how to change a tire or where basically anything in my car is, and only two weeks ago did I learn to use jumper cables - when a male friend of mine had to jump my car!
That's got to be one of my resolutions this year - learn a little bit more. I have 24 hr. roadside assistance through my insurance, but still - knowing how to do the little things myself would make me a little more comfortable driving alone.
So my resolutions this year:
1)Learn at least one new car-maintenance thing.
2)Start eating more/better - while I don't need to gain weight, if I don't stop being so picky and so anal-retentive about what I eat I will soon.
3)This resolution is shared with my boyfriend = to put at least $25 from each of our paychecks into a savings account to start building ourselves a nest egg.
4) Become a wish granter for the Make-a-Wish foundation.
