Driving Weekends

I had a fun time with the boyfriend back home this weekend. Saw Skycaptain and Harry Potter 3, ate lots of good food and hung out with some friends. I liked this whole seeing Nagi every 2 weeks thing, but now it's broken. That's ok, DC will be fun :)

Anyway, if you haven't experienced the world's most exciting drive from 'Boro/Cinci/Dayton to BG. you're missing out on the most exciting drive of your life! Ok, not really, unless corn, livestock and lack of hills get your motor going :) Its funny to watch other people that are as bored as you. Entertaining myself has come down to critiquing/making fun of/getting pissed off at other people's "driving styles" so here they are...

Sunday driver - I know it's Sunday, but cruising north on I 75 isn't very scenic. In fact nothing in northern Ohio is. Unlike you I have a place to get to. Oh yeah and if you're gonna pass a semi, you have to drive faster than that semi.

NASCAR - Last time I checked, the interstate was NOT an oval, therefore it isn't a race track. Don't cut me off just to ride someone else's bumper and then get mad at me when you move back over and get stuck behind a slow car. I just laugh and you. If traffic is backed up, there's probably a reason it's backed up or crowded and hurrying will get you nowhere.

Double Wide - Gotta love the one semi that has to pass the other going 1mph faster than the other one. They also like to cut me off when they do that. But hey, they're A LOT bigger than my little car, so they can do whatever the hell they want.

Michigan - They are differentiated by the fact that they don't have a front license plate. Even if they did, you wouldn't be able to see it in your mirror anyway because they're so far in your trunk you can't see it. Same goes for the back plates. They like to cut you off with inches to spare.

Fellow Student - Most people who go to BG have a sticker or a parking pass somewhere that makes it quite obvious that they go to BG. Coming back to school on a SUnday you might run into 2-3 or them. Most of the time we travel together and everything is fine and dandy. Then there's a certain few (like this last time) that think it's a friggin race to see who can get back to BG faster.

Trunk huggers - Look, I know my car is sexy in it's little station wagon way and there's enough room to hold some stuff, but not a whole damn car! If you wanna go faster than the 80mph i'm already going, I'll move over. But if I move over to be nice PASS ME!!! Don't ride my ass then not pass me if i move over. Next time I'll brake check...

Indecisive - Pick a lane! And no, the white line down the middle doesn't go between the wheels!

Hot Shit - So you have a nice car. Big Deal. I hope you crash it. Why go 100+mph down 75? Really. I was happy going my 80mph Sunday when a Ferrari appeared out of the middle of nowhere and flew by me. Granted it's was cool, and it was a cool car, but 10 miles later when I saw him pulled over and the Ferrari on a tow truck, i could help but laugh.
