The Best Roadtrip Companion?
« on: May 10, 2011, 11:38:51 pm »
...and further to my previous thread about what the best drivers' roads / road trips are, who would be your first choice for a roadtrip companion?

For me, it'd be someone who...

a)  loves cars like I do (ensures good conversation / debates)
b)  enjoys similar / same musical tastes as I do (to avoid fighting over the radio)
c)  is happy to take the road less traveled to see what's there to be seen...
d)  ...but can also drive (or be a happy passenger) when we're trying to "make up time"
e)  has a good sense of humour and patience

Since we were little, my brother and I have spent countless hours and probably hundreds of thousands of kms in the car together and he's probably my first choice due to the reasons above.

Of course, Katrina Bowden could meet none of the criteria above and I'd still kick my little bro out in a second for her.  :)

IQ meets all that criteria.  And she has a nice rack which I never tire of looking at while on roads trips.   ;)

Ditto the above, or a waitress with big :censor: and a slight wardrobe malfunction.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Really?  Can think of many others I'd rather have in the passenger seat.

What is it about her??

I wasn't trashing.  I was pointing out facts which, in your blind devotion, you perceived to be trashing.... ;D

Nonsense. I was making very logical, well considered arguments, while you continued to introduce red herrings!  :stick: :cheers: :flowers:

Hmmm....I wasn't wowed with her bikini pics TBH.

And her being a socialite makes her much, much less attractive IMO.

Yeah, to the future King of England, so I don't think she's going to be going on any road trips any time soon, no matter how nicely you ask.  Pippa is single!
