driving

Last week we asked Central Minnesotans if they knew the life skill of driving a manual vehicle, and the results will surprise you!

As I get older, the more I notice that lots of people have never driven a manual car before. Do you know the ways around a stick shift engine? Let's see how many central Minnesotans know the skill!

The fall colors are amazing right now in Minnesota, and Explore Minnesota has come up with 10 fall color drives you need to take this year!

My little sister is taking her driving test today and I'm not confident that she'll pass. I think she's a decent enough driver, but she's terrible at parking.

Every day, I have to drive 180 mi. round trip for work. With all that time on the road, I tend to notice some "bad" patterns. Maybe it's just me, but I think drivers with Wisconsin plates are horrible drivers! (Sorry!) There has always been a crazy feud between Minnesota and Wisconsin drivers on who sucks more at it. Tell us what you think in our poll:

Seriously?

To her credit, she did an OK job...considering we lived and didn't crash the car. Good job, Sam!

A new survey from Harris Interactive revealed that 54% of us were taught to drive by our dads.  This got me thinking about my own 'interesting' driving lessons.

I put on a concert in my car every time I drive somewhere--alone. I sing, flail my arms and head-bob. It got me to thinking that there are a lot of strange things people do in the car. I realized I'm guilty of the majority of them.

Do you know how much I paid today for a gallon of gas? $1.86 at the Super America next to Lake George! I love to drive, and love to travel...so it's road trip time, y'all :D

Let's face it, even at my age I'm still kind of a troublemaker.  What can I say?  It's in my DNA.  I still get scolded and there's one thing I get scolded over that drives me crazy!!

Yesterday Chris and I heard about your "road-rage" triggers. Tailgaters were a top trigger and, you've seen them on the road, drivers who are texting. Weaving, not paying attention, a serious danger to themselves and us. But how will we get them to stop? I don't know - but I like this idea in a Belgian "Impossible Texting & Driving Test".
