Ever Just Go For A Drive In The Night

[Naturally]

About to let Ruby the Jeep show me around the metropolis with no particular place to go ~~~

 

[Imogene]

I haven’t done that since my 20’s but before my son was born, I did that all the time.

I always had a full tank of gas. In no particular direction, I would drive out almost half a tank, then turn around.

More so back in the day…

 

[Naturally]

Down on Main Street

... and smack dab in the middle of an intersection ... a statue

Couple of homes in the Easter spirit

And one apparently anticipating the 4th of July

At the moment realized I should be driving instead of pointing a loaded camera around

The ever faithful and true Ruby Jeep returned me safely to the Blue Bottle Cottage

The boy dog, Mason, wanted to hear all about it and was all ears

And one apparently anticipating the 4th of July

I always fly mine. It's not just for the 4th.

I love driving around at night. I like looking at homes that have their lights on. They have this golden glow to them. It's like "nests" for humans. There's just something so homey and warm about a yellow light coming out a window.

I used to enjoy driving around at night. That's when I encountered a pair of wolves .. or coyotes.
Very relaxing, with little other traffic. Also, a good time to grocery shop at 24-hour supermarkets.

In the Xmas season, daughter and I used to go driving at night, to see all the Xmas lights.

since covid we no longer have 24 hour supermarkets... they all close by midnight....

I used to prefer driving at night to the daytime... but the last time I drove at night was just after my seperation.. and I was going through a bad time, and not able to sleep, so I would get in the car and drive for miles on the motorway stopping only at service stations...

 

[JustDave]

Not much anymore.

 

[Rae]

We take short drives around the neighborhood at night but not on the highway as I cannot see that well at night. The lights on the street help me see in our neighborhood. I like to see the houses and yards, too.

 

[Michael Z]

I sometimes take drives in the morning. Lot’s of wildlife to see.

 

[chic]

I used to to way back but haven't in years. The instrument panel in my car doesn't light up enough.

 

[Feelslikefar]

Probably the last time was when our youngest needed a 'ride'.
In the car seat and we just drove around at night.

Not much traffic, just going from one small Nebraska town to another.

 

[Paco Dennis]

I loved to drive at night on my motorcycle in the summer time. No helmet law back then.

 

[spectratg]

Only when my wife was alive. We took a lot of fun drives during the day and also in the evening. Got to see quite a few nice little places and restaurants. I miss those days.

 

[Jackie23]

No I avoid getting out at night, maybe if someone else is driving I might.

 

[Magna-Carta]

I often drive at night due to working shifts. I notice there is a different class of idiot on the roads at night.

When I was younger, for the hell of it, I would drive through the night and watch the sun rise as I was driving. Just me (occasionally a girlfriend), my car, and good music to listen to.

 

[Ruthanne]

I used to long ago. I can't see the streets well anymore. I can go for a short distance at night now.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

Unless it's necessary for me to be out at night, I don't go, but I've always been that way. I think accidents are more likely then. Once in awhile, I take a pleasure drive with no particular place to go, but those are in the daytime only.

 

[gamboolman]

Well, probably like alot folks here, when ms gamboolgal and I was dating we sure enjoyed taking the long way home after dinner/dates...

Now in retirement, we enjoy taking Road Trips together. But we like taking back roads and doing most of the driving during daylight so we can enjoy the scenery and "small town America".

 

[Gardenlover]

I used to love driving at twilight.

 

[Dave03]

Not since my 20s. Nothing better than driving in the moonlight.

Now, driving at night is one of those things I avoid if at all possible.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

2 reasons no: Too many deer, 'possums, etc trying to cross the road at night... especially the deer just seem to pop up out of the road-side ditches and if you hit one, lots of damage to the car--not to mention the animal =(

2) I equate driving at night with being called out at 2am to go see a patient...

 

[Disgustedman]

Sometimes I would. Life was good, gas cheap and that 4 banger Ford escort sipped at 40 mpg.

We took it from Aloha, OR to Hobbs NM over to Little Rock AR and then back and finally home. 5,000 miles on $200 gas and three oil changes.

 

[Rossana]

I enjoy an early morning drive and watching the sun coming up.
I am not much of a night driver except at Christmas time to see the decorated homes near my house.
