Someday, over a glass of scotch, I will share my Philly driving stories.
I have a Mini, but the wife would kill me if I tried.
Thank you, but it's still only one piece.
Philly wasn't too bad the few places I was there, but NJ!?!?!?! No..... Just no.....

Yikes! Just the thought of trying makes me nervous.
One thing that always fascinates me is watching someone backing up a B-Train or Road-Train. Even when the trailer train appears to be heading straight backward the driver is making the tractor wag like a dogs tail back and fourth to keep the two trailers in a straight line.
I've never tried 2 trailers, but I have backed up a 48 foot sawdust trailer, a few flat equipment trailers up to 28 foot, and very small trailers set up for just a welding machine and leads.
I would much rather back up the bigger trailers.
The short wheelbase on a 6 foot long trailer is absolutely horrid to keep straight. You over-steer just a little and it is right beside you.
Mess up the Bat Mobile?
I hate when the guy in front of me forgets about his trailer hitch.
When I back up a pup trailer it looks like my first day on the job.
Didn't have to do it on my driving test but had to in Drivers Ed.
Had words with the instructor because I said I was too close to the car in front and he kept telling me to ease up, and I tapped their bumper. Just barely a tap, but for 1/2 a second I thought he'd fail me for something he told me to do

She's got skills.
Yep, I bet that's my granddaughter in a few years. She is way too smart, and a bit of a daredevil.
That can be good and bad.
When I was little I used to get my bigwheel going just as fast as I could down the hill and hit the bent over piece of fence trying to get it to do a backflip. Never made it the whole way, but I don't thing it did any premanent damamage......
Started rock climbing at 14, grew up to be a journeyman Ironworker among other laid back and safe jobs, like working on moving sawmill machinery, playing with dynamite....
So not bad for ME, but probably not the greatest for my parents.
Man I'm glad I never had kids, I'd be broke from them breaking, 'cause I'm sure I wouldn't be a good influence. Didn't make that backflip? well you weren't going fast enough.... Here, lemme give you a push....
Fun fact:
My brother in law played Paolo, the "bad guy" boyfriend of Heather Graham in that movie.
