Will I be judged for driving a lousy car to a fine restuarant?
I'm by no means rich. But I have an anniversary coming up and to make it special I've saved enough to take my So to a nice 5 star restaurant. But, I drive a really lousy car. Will I be judged? I feel so bad thinking about pulling up in this old clunker and everyone else has a nice Beemer or something. D: I have a 2006 Honda Civic with a bumper that's on the verge of just falling off. It's hanging on by glue and prayers. It also has a semi-loud squeaky rattle when turning. Should I just give this whole ideaup and go somewhere else with my money?
If you're that worried about what they think take a cab, just tell them it's a big night and you plan on having a few drinks.
Take a taxi or park your car somewhere else and take a walk. Rich people walk too, you know, it is good for them
I rode a bike to a 5 star restaurant once.
The people already inside the restaurant are not going to see what kind of car you arrived in anyway. If you are worried about valet parking and what the guys parking the cars are going to think of your car, then do not use valet parking service. You don't HAVE to, if you don't want to. Park somewhere else, and simply walk into the restaurant.
Don't belittle yourself.
Don't forget any condensing restaurant staff are just like the rest of us in a job. If they are so great they wouldn't be working there.
If you're really uncomfortable make humour out it. Most people love a laugh and takes the edge off anything uncomfortable.
"You should have seen my other car"
"Our anniversary, had to get the same car for when we first met"
I hope you have a night full of laughs and understanding.
Have a lovely evening
- My 2001 Honda Civic temp guage goes up and down. When am driving it's fine but when is it rises. What's the problem? I have change radiator, thermostats, gasket, radiator cap and still didn't fix the problem. What else could be the problem.
- Car ran fine then wouldn't start, got a jump, now everything is fine again. What happened? '03 Honda Civic. Last 30 mins of work I sat in my car with the A/C on full blast and radio on, like I do everyday (and of course the car is running). I stopped at Subway after work. The car was parked for 10 mins. After the car would not start but the radio and dash board lights would come on, but it would not crank. Got a jump from AAA. Afterwards Auto Zone tested the battery and alternator, both passed. I has been a week now and no problems. What the heck could have happened?
- Why is my 2000 Honda Civic dx I drive fine and normal not hot rodding it except one time I got on it with the gas and it read that the car? Was almost over heated but it has brand new radiator and hoses could it have been just got hotter than usual or could it need a new water pump or a temperature switch
- Car won't start but all the lights and dashboard work fine? When I put my key into the ignition all the lights turn on however when I try to start the engine nothing happens. No clicks or anything my car just beeps at me 3 times. Any ideas what's wrong? I just drove it yesterday and it worked fine. I have a 2003 Honda Accord if that helps.
