Cool Cars in Ichinomiya #22

10月

11日

On the way (途中に) to Ichinomiya Teragoya today I saw this old Porsche. Of course I didn`t take this photo while I was actually driving; I was stopped at a red light. I`m a safe driver.

By the way, you know that a big typhoon is on the way, don`t you? Are you ready?

Vocabulary:

- `ON the way` = 途中, but `IN the way` = 邪魔, so:
"Hey, you`re in the way - I can`t see the whiteboard!"

After reading this Blogu, 
I checked my dictionary 「ＷＡＹ」 
 
I found 
there are so many phrases uesing way. 
 
You are a safe driver aren't you? 
 
so am I 
 
While I drive, I usually do 
 
make way for other driver 
give way to other driver

Right - `way` has heaps of meanings & uses. A Teragoya student who spent time in America sometimes says "It was way cool", meaning it was very cool.

I`m not a good driver, but I drive carefully. I just finished a book about motorcycle riding. The author says "I recommend adopting the attitude that every single person on the road is a sociopathic serial killer who has just escaped from an asylum for the criminally insane." Good advice!
