Curse…reversed?

No, I’m not talking about that curse. I’m talking about the Curse of the Car.
Just after I finished detailing my sordid history with said car, things began to turn around. I found out later that day that, since this is my first moving violation ever, I get a free pass on the surchargeable points. Which [...]
