What games do you play on long rides?

We have a really fun one we play sometimes, taken from Whose Line Is It Anyway. Each of us can only talk in sentences of X words long. So I might only be able to say 3-word sentences, and Bob will say 5-word sentences and so on. So I could say

"What was that?"

and he's say

"I think that was a bird"

it is really fun and challenging!!

What do you play in the car?

Having the ride on the car is fun by itself. Then again, I guess you won't appreciate the way those rides go. :rolleyes: <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm a little bit maniacal on cars theme (as well as might be on others <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ), so, m yview are rarely shared by others.

How do those rides go?

I'm not the one driving the car. They go in excess speed. Don't look at me that way. Still, it's always within reasonable limits ... I guess. Anyway I'm in Europe, guess it's quite different in USA.

I have a Mustang and love driving in general, and love travelling by car. So yes, driving to somewhere new is always fun. But sometimes the drives we do are say 10 hours a day, and after a while you want to do something else to keep yourself interested <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

There's always the count-the-license-plates-from-different-places game <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I guess so. USA is very different from Europe. It is normal for you to travell from one city to another which may be like 500km away, here it is very rare. So rides only last for three or four hours at most. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I know I'm bad because of excess speed thing, but there's nothing I can do about it. :rolleyes:

That number plates games does work. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> When the traffic is somewhat heavy and you must move on accordingly, then you can play it.

Lisa, how fast do you go on a car? Usually and on rare occasions? (not emergencies).

I don't know in KM but usually I drive 70-75mph on the highways around here. The speed limit is 65mph and 75 is about the normal speed being travelled. The car is still smooth at 85 which is what I do sometimes if I'm running late. I don't really go over 85 though. The northeast US is full of deer, and I want to at least have some chance of dodging if a deer runs out onto the highway, which does happen. We even have moose sometimes <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

LOL ... Sorry, but sound like a Safari. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Don't you have metalic barriers along both sides of the highway road? I guess not because of the distances.

We have a speed limit of 120 km/h which is 75 mph I think. Usually though people go at around 130, which would be around 80 mph. We usually go at around 87-100 mph (140-160 km/h) not compromising the road safety of course. Out highest has been 153 mph (245 km/h), on more or less straight road, the impressions are indesribable. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> That's why I like the trip on its own. Maybe it looks kind of stupid to you. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Are you a fan of american cars? I know you're into Mustangs. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The famous one was the 65' Mustang I think. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Deer aren't known to pay attention to little things like barriers, they can leap a 6' fence easily <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And no most roads don't have any barriers at all, just forests to either side.

I just like Mustangs, have had them since I began driving pretty much. All modern ones though, no classics <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What do you drive?
