What has been your most memorable experience in a car?

[reecejackox]

As we have had public transport

First one that comes to mind is driving back from the football in thick fog and nearly crashing

Also having to stop to let sheep cross the road.

 

[Wendy31]

It depends on whether you mean "parked car" or "moving car".

You might want to ask for the PG versions...

In my Grandma's car...

The storm the night before had brought trees down on her road. So what did she do? That's right. She went careering down the neighbouring golf course in search of safer lands...

RUNNER UP! I wasn't in the car at the time, but I DO remember the time when my other Grandma collided with a stationary tram.

 

[MrsCobraBubbles]

Neighbor's bull charged my truck while I was behind the wheel. It was terrifying, I thought the truck was going to flip over it was rocking so bad. Luckily it was an old 1970s Dodge Ram farm truck so it was fine.

So many crazy incidents from crashes, near misses, road rage, other drivers doing strange things like shaving, large animals in the road, driving hood-deep through water, mud racing, etc, etc, etc.

So, I’m going to pick the 6-week, 7,500 mile road trip we took in 1977 (I was 10).

I was proposed to

 

[MomofKatie]

3 college girls in a Nissan Sentra on our way back from a road trip to FL for the annual GA/FL football game- we slept at a rest stop for 8 solid hours in Doritos and Wrigley Doublemint gum sleeping bags. We woke up hearing people laughing at us. Thank goodness we didn't get murdered overnight...

 

[Deb & Bill]

Trying to get to the hospital because I was several months pregnant and having horrible vertigo and the road was blocked because they were moving cattle from one pasture to another. It was the major road between our town in Eastern Montana and Deadwood, SD and it was two lanes wide. I just wanted my husband to drive right through the herd to get me to the hospital. We lived in the country about ten miles from the hospital.

Billy Joel
"Keeping The Faith"

If it seems like I've been lost
In let's remember
If you think I'm feeling older
And missing my younger days
Oh, then you should have known me much better
'Cause my past is something that never
Got in my way
Oh no

Still I would not be here now
If I never had the hunger
And I'm not ashamed to say
The wild boys were my friends
Oh
'Cause I never felt the desire
'Til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
That's why I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith

We wore old matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with a Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh
I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades
Oh yeah
I took a fresh pack of Luckies
And a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans
And his Old Spice after shave
Oh
Combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore
A permanent wave, Yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
You can get just so much
From a good thing
You can linger too long
In your dreams
Say goodbye to the
Oldies but goodies
'Cause the good ole days weren't
Always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights
But it taught me how to lose O.K.
Oh, I heard about sex
But not enough
I found you could dance
And still look tough anyway
Oh yes I did
I found out a man ain't just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
Drank a lot of take home pay
I thought I was the Duke of Earl
When I made it with a red-haired girl
In the Chevrolet. Oh yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith

You know the good ole days weren't always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

I told you my reasons
For the whole revival
Now I'm going outside to have
An ice cold beer in the shade
Oh, I'm going to listen to my 45's
Ain't it wonderful to be alive
When the rock 'n' roll plays, yeah
When the memory stays, yeah
I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
I'm keeping the faith,
Yes I am

Most memorable experience in a car was definitely the time we drove from Ma to Fl. The kids were probably 10 & 6. They were amazingly great road trippers! That was also the one and only year it snowed during our vacation in Florida...

 

[Allison]

Nobody gets to hear those stories.

 

[BrinkofSunshine]

On Christmas Day (in FL) several years ago we were driving along the highway when we saw a llama running alongside the road.

We called it in and the police were already aware. He was an escapee from a nearby llama farm

 

[Squirlz]

Many. But driving the Dragon in TN/NC is something fun we do every year.
