Ok – let me clarify – no we are not giving away a car! If I had an extra vehicle floating around you know I’d do it, but sadly I don’t. However, I do have a very sweet prize package to give away that would make an awesome gift for any female driver. So let’s get right to it…
Girls Can’t WHAT? has teamed up with author Erika Stadler to promote her new book “In The Driver’s Seat: A Girl’s Guide To Her First Car“. The contents of the prize package is over $60 AND we are covering all the shipping costs. You have nothing to lose!
What you get:
- The Book “In The Driver’s Seat“
- A Girls Can’t WHAT t-shirt (any design)
- Eddie Bauer Emergency Hammer with built-in flashlight and seat belt cutter
- A Girls Can’t WHAT magnet (any design)
Typically to enter, I ask you to answer a question by posting a comment, but this time there’s a little twist. Rather than telling us about your first car or first driving experience…. how about you tell us about your greatest accomplishment related to driving. Did you change your own oil? Fix a flat? Get a perfect score on your driving test? Save up to buy your own wheels? Oooh and awe us with your skills! Girls Can’t WHAT?
The Rules (yep – gotta have ’em)
1. One comment per person. They are moderated for first-time visitors and will appear once they have been approved. (Duplicates will be ignored and rule-breakers will be beaten with an ugly stick.)
2. Bonus entries for posting a link to this contest on Twitter, Facebook or any other social network. For each tweet, status or other social link, you may add an additional comment to this post containing a link to your tweet or post. (Just call me the prize fairy…but don’t do it publicly).
3. The winner will be drawn randomly by a computer program. (Otherwise I would totally pick my friends so I have to make it fair.)
4. Contest ends Friday, December 4th, 2009 at 11pm Central Time. The winner will be announced in the day or two following and also mentioned in the Girls Can’t WHAT? newsletter. (No exceptions so don’t even try to sneak one past me!)
5. Your email address will not be shared or added to any mailing lists. It will only be used to notify the participants of the outcome of this contest. (If I violate this rule you can beat ME with an ugly stick.)

I’m proud of myself for teaching my sister and all of her friends how to drive when we were teens. I also taught them how to navigate with a map and all of the other cool stuff that you don’t learn in driver’s ed. I know it’s not alot, but it sure made me feel pretty good about myself! :)

So yeah, I drove to cornerstone…….by MYSELF! And I didnt get lost, it was a four hour drive too, but I would say that my best driving accomplishment would be 0 tickets and 0 wrecks! I have been driving for almost 3yrs, I am very proud of myself :D

After I split up from my ex I took the kids on holiday, and driving back from the airport I hit a pothole on the motorway & broke a wheel on my car! I successfully got onto the hard shoulder, called the RAC rescue service (it wouldn’t have been safe for me to change the wheel myself) and kept the little ones calm as we waited in the cold & dark. It wasn’t much fun, but I’m glad I coped with the situation on my own.

I went to college in Minneapolis, 9 hours away from home, and drove alone several times – without GPS or a cell phone. On one of those trips I had a tire blow out on a bridge in the rain. It was a stretch of Wisconsin where you go more than 50 miles without an exit, so it was all up to me. I changed my tire, changed my clothes, and still got to a friend’s wedding on time!

I had many vehicles that I had purchased that always needed work done on them, which I never minded cause i Like doing that kind of things like oil changes, tranny changes, etc that has to do with fluids in the car. I have been known to changes lots of tires and brake jobs to doing body work on the vehicles that I have had. Its not hard to do but it works when you have someone that shows you what to do and is patient with you. But then you never learn until you try it, right?

I saved up to buy my first car, a gold 1979 Olds Cutlass lowrider…the most un-me car ever, but it was cheap and I paid for it in full:) Thanks!

6 months after I got my license I drove solo from Illinois to Florida, a little over 16 hours. Yeah, potentially stupid move but it worked out, and no, I didn’t have a GPS.

My first car was definitely USED. I had to constantly keep an eye on it or it would leak too much oil. I will never forget the day I pulled over into a parking lot to add oil to my car – in a full suit and heels. There was a guy just getting ready to head into the grocery store I was next to and he just laughed and hollered “Good for you!”
