digitaldisciplineThat, apparently, was the theme of my dreams last night.
In the second act, we were in the car with my folks (possibly in our Grand Caravan, the last great family road trip vehicle of my youth), Dad nearly drove off the end of an under-construction highway bridge over some waterway or other, stopping with maybe eighteen inches to spare, and then having to dodge a slew of oncoming traffic across an on-ramp designed, apparently, to cause head-on collisions (seriously, who puts a single southbound lane between two northbound ones, separated only by dashed lines?).
In the first act, I was hanging out with Ivan and Chris and attempting to go somewhere in an Inexplicable Hooptie - a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado (off-white) with 26" white carbon-fiber rims and apparently no brakes, which I rear-ended Chris' CRX in... to no detriment to his car, but a crumpling of the front driver-side quarter panel, and the breaking of 2/3 of the arms on the left-rear rim of my car. Tossed it in the trunk, tried to roll on the replacement, and then both rims on that side cracked.
At five or ten miles an hour, a squishy and ineffective brake pedal is still really irritating when you're driving a land yacht of that magnitude, I tell you what.
