Have you ever driven away from the gas pump and forgotten to put the gas cap on or left the gas cap door open or seen anyone else do similar? I've seen someone else do it. I don't think I've ever done it.
What funny or not so smooth moves have you seen on the roadways recently or memorably? I can't think of anything funny. Oh wait, I can think of something! One time fairly recently, I was driving down the road and saw a woman yelling and screaming at everyone and passing people on the shoulder, etc. and a few minutes later, I saw her pulled over by the police. That was pretty interesting.
Have you had a plastic bag get caught under a vehicle while you were driving it? Yes. Never again. Flappity flappity!
Have you run over any debris in the roadway or do you remember steering around anything? One time I ran over something and not only flattened a tire, I tore up the entire wheel. I remember it costing me $700 to repair. Plus I hadn't planned on being out all day - since I was just going to the gym. I had on no makeup and I had on some sort of cover up thing over a bathing suit, and flip flops. I had to be out all day, and I had to drive all over the place to get that tire fixed. I even ended up going to a restaurant for lunch and just sitting there by myself looking ugly waiting for a phone call about my car.
Have you traveled somewhere for food, even if just a bit out of the way or maybe even a day trip? Not a day trip but I have gone out of my way for some food I was craving.
Do you have any favorite restaurants for getting take out meals or meals eaten in the car (drive-ins count)? I rarely eat fast food but there's one meal I always, always eat, on the road in my car, when I'm on a road trip and that's from Sonic. I order a diet Cherry LimeAde, a small order of tater tots, and a BLT.
If you stopped in a convenience store while traveling, what snacks or drinks might you buy? Teriyaki beef jerky.
Have you ever driven away from the gas pump and forgotten to put the gas cap on or left the gas cap door open or seen anyone else do similar? I left the little door open once.

Have you run over any debris in the roadway or do you remember steering around anything? If you go out early enough there are usually animal carcasses still in the road from at night. The town just hasn't picked them up yet. I ran into low flying birds once and drove straight to my then husbands shop and asked him to get them out of the grill. I was too upset to look. There are always branches to drive around.
Foodie Question(s):
Have you traveled somewhere for food, even if just a bit out of the way or maybe even a day trip? When trip planning, I always do research on food joints near my hotel before I go, including looking at their menus online. I wouldn't go more than one town away for food because I usually get take-out and want it to still be hot when I get home or back to my hotel.
Do you have any favorite restaurants for getting take out meals or meals eaten in the car (drive-ins count)? I have 2 un-favorites. Burger King is one because they downsized everything even before inflation and Panera Bread is another unfavorite because 1) they're too slow at the drive through, 2) because they don't tell you how much it will cost when you order so you can have the exact amount when you pay and 3) because for a place with "Bread" in their title, they're always out of certain kinds of bagels or muffins as early as 8:30 in the morning. It's ridiculous.
If you stopped in a convenience store while traveling, what snacks or drinks might you buy? I usually have what I eat and drink when traveling to a destination that is 7 or 8 hours away, already in my car on the passenger seat. The items have to be things I can grab without looking and I've already opened before I left home like a bottle of water (cap already opened) or peanut butter crackers in a pre-opened plastic wrap or twizzlers. I pull into a rest area to eat a sandwich I brought from home. I don't go into the convenience store at a gas station when I travel anymore.

Today's Question(s): Have you ever driven away from the gas pump and forgotten to put the gas cap on or left the gas cap door open or seen anyone else do similar? I have seen a few people do it, and tried to chase them to stop. I never did it myself.
What funny or not so smooth moves have you seen on the roadways recently or memorably? In our state the governor passed a law preventing the police from chasing except for some extreme serious crimes. I was going 72 along with everyone else on the freeway (speed limit 60) when we passed a state patrol car in the center median. Unlike before, no one slowed down. Suddenly a motorcycle went by in the car pool lane going what had to be 90 mph. It was odd to see the cop just sit there and watch it go by.

Foodie Question(s): Have you traveled somewhere for food, even if just a bit out of the way or maybe even a day trip? Very often, many of our day trips are simply to try a new restaurant in another city.
Do you have any favorite restaurants for getting take out meals or meals eaten in the car (drive-ins count)? Only one, that would a local burger place with no seating, called "Dick's Drive-in."
If you stopped in a convenience store while traveling, what snacks or drinks might you buy? Jerky, Chips, maybe a candy bar, and if 7-Eleven, I love their 1/4 lb. hot dogs.
