I got them all correct

I blow a fuse for discrimination, and in general when someone treats with disrespect and tries to humilliate someone else. The bells and whistles I would like on a car are driving assistances to avoid crashing, lots of air bags, and superior punctuations in security exams. I had to hit the panic button on pandemy stopping company operations and returning the rented properties to avoid mayor economical problems. Most of the time I am on the same wavelength than Salo, she is my best friend.

Bells and whistles = all the accessories
Hit the panic button = to react out of fear and stop everything
To be on the same wavelength = to be in the same page
Hope for the best = expect for a good outcome
Blow a fuse = to be really angry
