. . . New to driving, need advice! Group: alt.trucks.chevy Date: Thu, Feb 5, 2004, 1:31am (CST+6) From: snipped-for-privacy@yahooXXX.com (Sky)
hey, This kinda sounds stupid + my auto isn't a truck but here goes anyway...
I just got my license and bought a 93 Chevy Astro cargo van and I need some driving tips. Since its a cargo van it doesn't have any side windows except for driver and passenger side doors but it does have a window in the rear.
When I back out of a parking space its hard to see if there's a car crossing behind you unless you can see over the car next to you or can see through its windows. I can back into spaces but when I come home my street is really jammed and backing into it can be a pain. later when its cleared up people speed like crazy so its kinda scary because sometimes you can't see due to of how my space is.
You think i should get one of those round mirrors that hang out in the back?
I've never seen a small van with one of those so I figure there's another way and i don't want to look retarded.
anyway thx rem ========= =========
Listen........ you're driving a CARGO VAN..........
you're gonna look like a retard, regardless.
Sell the van........and buy yerself something more "age appropriate". A nice little S10 would be appropriate. Then you could come on back in here and talk bout yer new Chevy truck.
But......if yer persist'n on driving that Cargo Van, and looking like a retard, then stick you one of them there "AutoZonedOut" bug eye mirrors on yer side views, and jest be carefull.....that's bout the best you can hope for. Won't likely help....but it ain't gonna hurt none either.
Congrats on yer new license and yer new Van. Go the speed limit, look both ways, don't drive drunk.......and don't let none of yer friends talk you into doing anything stupid...........you don't want to look like a retard in front of the local Poe-leese !!
