I Love My Job!

When I woke up this morning I never dreamed I would be doing some stunt driving with the driver of the General Lee. I just met Allan Wyatt Jr. who was the primary stunt driver for the Duke's of Hazard. He took me for a ride in our parking lot doing slides and 360's around obstacles. It was AWESOME! He was sliding around into parking spaces like it was nothing without hitting any cones. He works for a local company here in Virginia Beach, IFPDI Stunt Drivers and Instructors, and they're doing a class for people who want to learn how to be a stunt driver. If you have an extra $1,800 in your pocket, it's probably worth it.

Carpooling Benefits

I've started carpooling with a friend who lives down the street and works in the same building as I do. I've figured it saves me about $6-$7/day when she drives. We both signed up for this new program called nuride. We earn points for every ride and we can cash them in for Gift Cards for various things. (Old Navy, TGI Friday's, Starbucks, and more) It also keeps track of how much you're saving by carpooling, how many miles you're not putting on your car and how many pounds of emissions your saving. You can pick who you want to ride with or open it up for anyone going in your general direction. There's a rating system so you can rate your riders/drivers. In order to sign up you have to provide an email with an approved organization email address and reply to the confirmation email. I carpool more for the financial benefits but it's also good for the environment. It works for me...
