Woot!! Thanks for all the kind wishes peeps!! You all rock!!!

My 1st day training is all good..people and workers are very helpful and supportive , the work area is clean and safe and big!!! and it amazes me how they are very organize and all the safety tools and things needed are well provided. One more thing, when they told me about 10 minutes break time they show me the canteen and told me what they all have.. there is a lot of snacks, coffee juice . cereals, vegetables salads and fruits..lots of fruits..I ask how much and he laugh at me , he said everything is free( but soda in vending machine)..wow..in the Philippines you have to pay for everything! I have a fruits fiesta lol!

There are 2 other Filipina working there..everybody is very friendly! Two woman there said I am cute with my all pink get up. ( from my cap , shirt to shoes) Other lady there like my pink doggy handbag.

Gary pick me up and we have a short driving lesson on way back home..I don't think I like the idea of him teaching me..I am not comfortable..he is a patient loving husband but I am so conscious with his 'Stang.. instead of me using the brake when he wants me to stop I step hard in accelerator and zzzzzzzooooooommmm!!! I giving my dear husband a heart attack ...I feel like he wanna wring my neck.. ..but I know he is not esp I point my lips to kiss him.. and teaching me gives him an excuse to smoke..he said he is stress!! He is back to smoking habit again..

Is it possible to get driving lessons from an instructor? It might reduce the stress for both of you and speed up your learning process. I would imagine it would be hard learning if you are worrying about damaging the car you are driving

Thanks Luz for the pm! I'm all excited for you. You (and Gary) might be better off with a driving instructor, with a different car.

is your driving that bad?

[SMOKE 1,426]

great to hear you like the job Luz!...Gary is gonna be okay. you'll start driving smoother in no time, you just gotta get use to driving a sports car. practice practice practice.

[sj5 4]

Congrats to you.

i can imagine how he look's like when you pushed the accelerator instead of breaking

[LuzyC 0]

is your driving that bad?

I..I think..I guess..kinda..yes Charles...bad girl me..

[Scott & Lai 12]

Congrats on the new job, Luzy!! And as others have said, a driving instructor is a good way to go. I taught Lai some of the basics, and then she went to an instructor to refine her skills to the point where she could confidently and safely drive on her own. The instructor's car had two sets of brakes, which helped a lot.

YOU KNOW WHAT IS THAT MEANS

What does it mean?

[Peikko 1,575]

Does this car have a clutch then? I can't get into the idea that an automatic can be a 'sports' car. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

I actually feel that way too. Automatic transmission just ain't "sports car" to me either.

Oooooooooooh, so happy to read about your job, Luz!!!! (your pout must have worked, hey??? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL) Best of luck with it and I KNOW everyone will love you there! Big hugs and best wishes! Mich

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

Luz, you have come so far! Be proud sis. Gary, you got one hell of a woman there. It is so funny to watch all the I hate America stuff, and yet Luz is takin advantage of the oppurtunities that are offered! You just "GO GIRL" No one can stop ya!

It's an automatic. I had the choice of the GT with the standard shift or the 6 cylinder convertible with the automatic. I chose the style over the power. The car still drives like a sports car though. Very tight steering, brakes and suspension and for a 6 banger it is very powerful. (4 liter) It will put you back in the seat if you hit the gas. Luz's main problem is one of size. With the long nose and high hood she must put the seat all the way forward to see the road. Even at that she tends to drive down the middle of the road because she can't see where the edge is. And the sight of her with the steering wheel in her chest makes me very nervous. If, God forbid, she had an accident and the air bag deployed it would be very bad for her. We have been looking at cars for her. We looked at Escorts and Mazdas so far. They are much more tuned to her stature. After she gets a few paychecks under her belt I will get her a car that is more suited to her. I think she will have a better time with that.
