I text at stop lights but that's only because I can text without looking, so if the light goes green I'll just put down the phone and finish at the next stop light.

Does anyone else drive with only 1 hand? Not like, gangster style with your hand at the top of the steering wheel, but with one hand in general? I hold onto the wheel at 2 or 5 o'clock with my right hand when driving normally, but for right turns I grab it with my left, or turns where I need to hand over hand left. That or when I'm in like a construction zone or a school zone where I may need better control.

yeah i prefer one hand
if im on the interstate or out of the city i just hold on at 6 oclock

At 6? That seems kinda awkward, that's kinda like having your hand in your crotch while you drive. Maybe that's just because my car is really smooshed down, though.

A lot of people do that because it is tiring to do with both hands up all the time. I saw a guy one time showing off for his girl friend with his hands up in the air, OH THE TEMPTATION to swerve at him to make him stuff himself, but I didn't want to make him wreck.

Yeah, I get a lot of people usually drive with one hand. I brought it up 'cause I wanted to see if anyone else drove exactly like me.

Also, I drive this:

Not the S version, but the same body.

Some proof I guess because people have tended to not believe me in the past with just my word,

I drive 1 handed bus driver style where you flatten your palm when you turn the wheel around.

Oh god, that freaks me out when people do that. I feel like if they were to hit a bump the wheel would slip and they'd lose control.

Nice Porsche, Trinick.

I'm really into muscle cars, for example, once I get my driver's license I'm buying myself a Ford Maverick or a Chevrolet Opala.
