When driving home after work, I generally sit in the right hand lane near the speed limit (70mph on I75 north of Detroit) as I’m not in any real hurry and traffic is light.

Some high schoolers threw a big party down the street from my house. Someone parked their ~77 Camaro across my driveway where I couldn’t leave for work (third shift delight!) so I walked down to the house and started asking about the car.

I was a valet once upon a time at a hotel while I was in college. One of my duties was also shuttle driver. This wouldn’t be so bad except the shuttle was a 15 y.o. full size ford van with seating for ~11 that hadn’t been maintained.
