Drove the minivan to work today.  I figured that with the relatively warm weather and easy commute from near the Vikings stadium and back, there would be no better instance of me taking my parents' vehicle instead of my own.  Besides, my car has been around the area for a couple days now, so it's time it gets a break.

And still I'm scared as hell that it won't start, or that it will otherwise break down.  Don't know why; besides the side door not properly closing and the doors suddenly unlocking -- both things that have happened for a while now, both due to the cold that won't be around for the next few days -- the van is just fine.  And yet, I am scared that it's out of oil, or that the tires are suddenly deflated.  (I'm checking both the oil and the tires when I get back to my car.)  Hell, I'm scared that someone would try to break in because it looks like a jalopy.  I would not feel that paranoid if it were my car, but honestly, I'm scared that car won't start or will break down for some reason, too.  I now take a deep breath whenever I start any car that my family owns, basically.

So, I hope it's just me.  Wish me luck.
