Baby, You Can Drive My Car

[DemBones DemBones]

Beep- Beep Beep- Beep Yeah!


Your driving may tell others where you're from:

1. One hand on wheel, one hand on horn: CHICAGO

2. One hand on wheel, one finger out window: NEW YORK

3. One hand on wheel, one finger out window, cutting across all lanes of
traffic: NEW JERSEY

4. One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly on accelerator:
BOSTON

5. One hand on wheel, one hand on nonfat double decaf cappuccino, cradling cell phone, brick on accelerator, gun in lap: LOS ANGELES

6. Both hands on wheel, eyes shut, both feet on brake, quivering in terror:
from OHIO, but driving in CALIFORNIA

7. Waving at everyone that you pass, eating a moon pie, sipping an RC cola,
smiling and chewing and talking to yourself: TENNESSEE

8. One hand on 12 oz. Double shot latte, one knee on wheel, cradling cell
phone, foot on brake, mind on radio game, banging head on steering wheel
while stuck in traffic: SEATTLE

9. One hand on wheel, one hand on hunting rifle, alternating between both
feet being on the accelerator and both feet on brake, throwing McDonald's
bag out the window: TEXAS

10. Four-wheel drive pickup truck, shotgun mounted in rear window, beer
cans on floor, squirrel tails attached to antenna: ALABAMA

11. Two hands gripping wheel, blue hair barely visible above windshield,
driving 35 on the Interstate in the left lane with the left blinker on:
FLORIDA

12. Changing lanes without signaling, driving 90 MPH in 70 MPH limit,
leaving no more than 6 inches from the car in front of you, avoiding
potholes, avoiding construction, presume red lights are ONLY a suggestion:
MICHIGAN

#12 sounds like ATLANTA to me! Add in #8 during rush hour. What do you say, CatWoman? Ulysses?

5. Where in Tennessee? I used to live near Memphis.

Now I'm in rural Georgia, where people always wave to other cars on county roads.

Hey there! :hi:

2. To Texas add, with a beer between his legs

Texas was notorious for drinking and driving - those long stretches of nothing in West Texas - until about 1985 or so when they finally made it illegal to drink beer and drive.

3. Two hands gripped tightly on wheel, head craned over the edge of wheel...

...driving a white Caddilac, while turning left all the way from the right-hand turning lane while going 5 mph: ELDERLY NORTH DAKOTA EX-FARMER LIVING IN FARGO

:-)

4. Two hands on wheel, hat on head, going half whatever

the posted speed limit is, oblivious to traffic backing up behind him on two-lane highways or county roads: ELDERLY GEORGIA OR ALABAMA MAN

Whenever we're stuck behind a car or truck, we check the driver out when we finally pass him and almost invariably get to yell "OLD MAN IN HAT!"

6. #12 is the closest to Atlanta

7. Yeah, I thought so, too, though there is some overlap

with #s 1,2,3, and 8. The first time my daughter ever drove to New York, she had to drive in rush hour traffic, and was pleased to observe that New Yorkers know how to merge. She much prefers driving in New York to driving in Atlanta. A friend maintains that Atlanta drivers are like LA drivers -- they come from so many different places (and thus have such diversity in driving styles) that they should never be allowed to drive together. Makes sense to me.
