The long road trip...we have all been there. Driving for hours, no one else in the car or your buddy or significant other asleep in the passenger seat. Your mind wanders in and out of reality as you try to soak up the endless drive on some interstate that is so straight that you could fall asleep for hours and still be in your lane. What does your mind wander off to?
Well if you are on this page I would likely bet that it wanders to cars and dreams of cars, and races, and dreams of things otherwise outside your reach. The endless road puts you into a hypnotic state and you just drift into the world of what if. I know I think about that stuff all the time. I just finished up a long road trip myself and I would say more then 80% of the time I was thinking about something to do with cars. The other 20 could be split between checking out the woman in the other car and contemplating ramming the jackass that just cut me off in the rear axle and spinning him out.
I think if I added up all the cars I have thought about and all the garages I have outfitted in my mind on long road trips, i would probably have close to 20,000 cars and about 150 garages. Why do we drift off to this never never land? By all means we should be watching the road, being good attentive drivers...but the road is sooooo straight and its the 4th time you have heard the same song from your ipod and it just keeps going and going and going......
