Like it or not, gaining access to a car is a right of passage. It expresses a lot more than your first, unfettered chance to operate a massive object at a high speed throughout your area as a 16-year-old. It's beyond the danger of it. Getting a car is getting your first taste of full-on freedom as a teenager. Although you shouldn't, you could literally go anywhere, at anytime as long as you had the gas money. Here's hoping you were considerate to your protective parents, but the IDEA that you c…

Everything's much more annoying

We all have our own petty causes that get us riled up. I think self-care routine videos are incredibly annoying and should be banned. Recently, Redditor u/hegotthedream asked the fine folks of r/AskReddit to share the “smallest hill” that they're willing to die on. The responses were quite interesting and revealed that everyone is passionate about some kind of small or stupid issue. Judging by the responses, one of the most common hills that people were willing to die on had to do with grammar…

I may not have a driver's license as a New York native (there are way too many of us who still need ‘em) but that doesn’t mean I can't appreciate a good car. While my friends and I did enjoy watching Xzibit and his crew do some astounding vehicular makeovers, we know that having a fish tank and a television in a sedan is, well, pretty expensive and also rather impractical. We have grown to appreciate the simple pleasures of the heated leather seats of a Kia, or the longevity of a Toyota. We lik…

Teaching your kids how to drive is no easy task. I gave my parents my fair share of scares when I was driving around with a learner's permit , or "temps," as some regions call it. My mom could drive with me in the high school football stadium parking lot, but that was about it. Beyond that, it was my dad's job to tell me when I was not in the lane, which was the problem 90% of the time when I was learning to drive. I was 15 years old and addicted to veering out of the lane. There are a lot of s…

Like taxis, but worse

Can we say that plants from Texas are dumb? Can we say that shoes from Texas are dumb?

Travel in style

I feel like there's a lot of stigma associated with being average. Not to have a boomer take, but I do think that telling kids they were gifted in the early 2000s because they read more chapter books than their peers was a mistake. Whenever the topic of “gifted kids” comes up,

"Omg, don't get in the car with me if you're gonna scream every time we almost wreck—that's distracting and dangerous!"

There's nothing like home for the holidays! While I love seeing my family and eating some delicious turkey together, traveling during the last month and a half of the year can be a bit stressful. The airports and packed, and the roads are even more packed. I find road trips a lot more stressful than going to the airport. This year, I had a harrowing road trip experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The night before me and my group of friends were supposed to drive two states over, th…

Time to turn down the radio so I can see better...

Drivers, pay attention
