I'm sure you're right Cate....I've had that happen before.

One of my fondest recent memories was driving down old Highway 41 to Morro Bay to meet my folks for a few days. It was a gorgeous day, bright sun and no clouds. I was in my new 4Runner and had all the windows down and moonroof open, stereo blasting and singing at the top of my lungs.. It is an extremely windy road, you can't go much over 20 thru some stretches due to all the hairpin curves. There was no one else on the road and I was having the time of my life, and I was just cracking up and hooting and hollering along with my singing. I love roads like that in great weather. Best 4+ hours I've ever driven.

Except for wanting the knowledge that's locked up in his evil brain, I'd like to think the first American to come across him would put a bullet between his eyes.....

I believe singing loudly in the car is one of the best forms of therapy one can have - and it costs NOTHING!!!!

Completely agreed! I used to have a fast little Prelude with a sunroof, and while I was going through my divorce, I'd go out sometimes in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep and drive winding back roads singing LOUD!

Oh, I forgot , with the price of petrol these days - maybe it is cheaper going to a therapist

I am glad I only put in half a tank every 5 weeks or so, seeing I walk to work each day and only drive short distances most weekends!

My work travel is free .. but then, I would look pretty stupid walking down the street with a discman hooked up, blaring out my power songs

The people in the streets would be needing the therapy!

Depends on whether you know a good therapist, one who works for margaritas

OK, no hijack since it's YOUR thread, Jenny!!!

I commute 30 minutes each way every day to my school. It adds up.

I use my to/from work time as music therapy.... this time of year, though, I have to be careful... I start opening the windows on nice days, after having them up all winter and belting out tunes (SERIOUSLY off key...) and it's not highway travel, so I come to a stop beside other cars.....
