Did that hat have a star vent on the top?
Nah. Just a blowhole.

Sad. The chef at our cafeteria in the Tech Center had a star cutout.
Drive a car that handles moderately well, call them chicanes & they become entertainment.Whatever you wish to call them -- they are of the Devil.
Rather fly thru a roundabout than sit at a light with no cross traffic.
Get that they are a PIA w drivers who can't/ don't know how to navigate them.

Or a 4 way stop that holds up traffic while everybody looks at each other waiting for someone to go.
Thats not too tragic. Only 3 rds intersecting.
The first few they made in WI, the traffic wizard underestimated the turning circle of tractor trailers & much hilarity (and roundabout damage) ensued. Rest easy tho - they were all rebuilt ..... at taxpayer expense - I guess it was all our fault???
Somehow I picture you near the intersection, setting the self-timer on the phone, and tossing it up in the air a few dozen times to grab the perfect shot... 😁
We all went through that phase. At that age, we were invincible! 😇
These days, it's punks in their 350Zs drifting their way around the roundabouts. Or the blue-hairs stopping at each juncture in the roundabout, thereby constipating traffic in the entire area. 😬
I could still enjoy a couple laps with tires smokin 😊
I'm not quite ready for the blue hair moniker.
Me neither! 😁 I have a ways to go yet.
My grandfather was a hellion in the car when he got older. I remember my last ride with him, he had to be 80 or 81. Flew off the freeway exit ramp and applied the brakes maybe five inches before a stop sign. Nothing like the feeling I was about to become one with a 1978 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight dashboard!
I'm not good enough to do that in a front drive car, but, I'd like to be.
It's possible, but I don't know where I'd practice that without knocking down everything in a 300 yard radius. 😁
