I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake light

Summary

This quote suggests a humorous and unconventional way of outsmarting traffic. It implies that by connecting the accelerator pedal to the brake lights, the person is able to surprise and confuse other drivers. When they hit the gas, causing their brake lights to illuminate, it deceives the drivers behind them into stopping, giving the person the chance to speed away unexpectedly. It highlights the element of surprise and cleverness in finding alternative solutions to everyday problems.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'
