Something you learned while on the Road

Its impossible to play I-SPY in a moving vehicle.

and pissing in an Ozarka water bottle is not something that should be first tried within your car.

 

if you have to spit a loogie from a moving vehicle, you need to put your head completely out the window and aim backward, or else you'll spit on your headrest.


in virginia, driving over 85 mph is considered reckless driving.

 

If you're driving through Slovenia, don't need to pee.

 

west virginia has 3 radio stations, 2 country and one oldies.

 

carry an extra drum of fuel in the trunk.

never allow a woman to navigate.

 

thats funny. my GPS system directs us with a female voice.

 

that's just so you have an excuse when you still manage to get lost.

 

trust your instincts, but i learned to have more faith in humanity in some spaces.

whatever your are doing wherever you are going, one should always write, keep a journal, and write at least one sentence about each picture taken.

always cherish the beauty of wherever you are

 

if a large bug hits your windshield...it's gunna be right in front of your face...and that shit is gunna spread throughout your windshield

 

when you have less than a quarter tank of gas and you see a gas station, stop. do not try to make it to the next town.

 

I do this all the time....though I wait until the gas light comes on and then stress. Good times:cheers2:

 

and when coasting on nothing but the prius battery alone, honk at oncoming traffic so they know to get the fuck out of the way when your barreling into the gas station.

 

Driving whilst under 17 is illegal.

 

:cheers2:

 

not in the land of the free

 

When shit happens, do what you can to resolve it and then chill out and enjoy the wait until you can get going again.

 

LOL! You would think running out of gas a couple times in my life would cure me of it. I just HATE going to the gas station. I wish the car was a bit more self-sufficiant and did it itself.

 

..and I can see why teenagers would want to get away from there.

 

People value their jobs more than their lives. This was a theory we came up with when I went to Dallas with my ex when I was 17. The truck drivers on that trip drove a lot less like assholes than everyone else, it seemed. And when you're driving your own personal car, what do you risk to lose? Your life, others' lives, and so on. When you're driving a semi, you could lose your life or your job. And it seems like they're just more careful and our idea was it was because they could get fired for driving recklessly. Work > Life?

Since then, I've seen lots of asshole truck drivers, so I don't really believe that anymore. We just got lucky on that trip, I guess.

 

if you have a cat traveling with you, don't leave the keys in the car when pumping gas...that cat will lock the door on you
