Heres me with my girl, well this was when I had a truck.(and shes not my girl anymore) Right hand holding girlfriends hand(or whatever i was holding at the time), left hand reaching over to shift into second, left leg letting out clutch, right leg giving some gas, left elbow steering the wheel. And managing to look over and smile at her...and then change the radio station too.(well maybe after i shifted)
amazing I never crashed into anything.
not that that would stop me or anything.


Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire...

Right foot MASHED thru the carpet,left foot hovering over the brake,both hands strangling the wheel,grinding my teeth, three feet off the back bumper of a moron doing 65 in the fast lane, figuring a way to mount a machine gun behind my grille...ME trying to fight thru Cleveland traffic to get to work. Right foot feeding just enough gas to throw a nice roost of mud and still climb out of the hole, left foot modulating the wet brakes, left hand working the wheel side-side to slip thru a Blazer sized gap in the trees, firewood and beer and Hi-Lift bouncing around in back, and a big ass Grin on my face-Me on a good Saturday night.

Okay SheWheeler, I live in nj and here's how #3 goes....
one hand scatching your head confusingly, head turned towards the back seat, yelling at everybody back there (usually over ocupied with kids and annoying relatives), feet resting gently on the brake, going 20 (and signaling at every corner like you have a clue where you are going) in a 45 zone because you don't know your way around anywhere beyond your driveway because you take the bus to the city every day......all while yelling at the cellphone.
Add to that, everybody is going to the same two crowded malls on the same roads (with traffic lights every 5 blocks), and at the same time, and it's enough to make you wanna put flamethrowers at both ends of your truck
