I believe it, and suspect that it is actually low since boredom/getting distracted is often a sign of being tired. Source: I once woke up in a corn field mowing down stalks at 40 mph, my brother screaming in the passenger seat. I’m now a big proponent of roadside naps, though I’ve been hassled by the cops a few times…

Congratulations, I thought I’d already read the most absurd comment I was going to today.

Looks like that can of Folgers isn’t doing much good.

I think she was referring to how badly maintained it was. She mentioned the seats weren’t even secured correctly.

I miss mine so much. It was getting up there and I’m not the type to store a car, but sometimes I think about it and wish I were.

Kids these days don’t know nuttin’ about long-throw shifters. I learned to drive in a ‘73 Ford F150 with a 3-speed manual (three-on-the-tree).

Speed (and cost, for that matter) creep is real! Every year, the cars get faster and faster and seem to cost just a little bit more for the class...

That’s a sleep-deprivedism. Tweaked for clarity.

Wait, he did the entire 24 hours alone? That’s hardcore.

A pristine 1995 Millenia S huh?
