The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

So for the first year and a half or so after I got my license, I did not go on expressways unless I had someone with me. Didn't matter if it took me longer; I took back roads. I was in college before I finally got up the nerve to get on one myself. Oh, I love driving. One thing I've done in quarantine is just go driving. But expressways freaked me out. Of course if you could see Maryland drivers on the Baltimore Beltway, you'd understand why.

Been there done that at rush hour. sheesh people wonder why I like wine

I-4 isn't bad at all I learned to drive in metro NY area

House rule we couldn't get a license until we could get into midtown at rush hour and drive on hilly dark winding roads at night. Not long after I got my license I drove to Disney

I call Road Side Assistance with my insurance to change my tire and jump start if it ever will need it.

I've driven in NYC while visiting. One thing I will never do is drive a stick in that kind of traffic.
