I rented a car for the first time in my life. Don't laugh: if you live in downtown Toronto and your parents aren't around, you will be like me too. Being under 25 and holding a G2 license, I was able to get a car for 88 bucks a day(plus whatever gas I used up by the end of the day). It's a crazy price, but I needed to practice for my coming G test as well as dealing with some errands here and there.
So here I am, an Asian woman, driving.
What's worse: the car rental place decided to give me a Toyota Corrola.
Woohoo!!
What's worst: I perfectly, 100% match this stereotype. Haven't driven for almost 2 years, my driving skills were rotten and smelt like H2S. I still feel sorry for the terrified passenger. And I had to go through unimaginable situations: closed highways; extreme cold alert weather; blowing snow storm on hwy 7, when I had to use the anti-freezing liquid on the windshield every 5 seconds; got stuck in ice and went out only after 2 guys decided to help push the car.
What a day.
On the bright side, I only got honked once and made back home alive. There wasn't much car damage, except a scrape when backing out from the ice holes and worn tires. At the end of the day I was much more confident with driving, and got a lot braver.
Did I mention I improved too?

Not to alarm you or anything, but Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa is dead. At least it wasn't due to a car accident.
such ignorance.
Takanawa and Tanaka are two completely different last names.
If you can't read Japanese, you should at least be able to tell the different between a word with 8 letters and a word with 6 letters.
i know they're different... but its obvious that Lost was making a reference to Family Guy. You should watch more TV.
as long as my lovely representation isn't dead. :)
