Motormouth/Dashboard Drummer

Today I made the 5.5 hour trek north to visit my parents.  They only recently moved close enough for me to drive and although it is a long ride I like being able to visit more often, especially now that Hubby is away.  As I was driving, I realized what I had to blog about today…

Does anyone remember that VH1 show called “Motormouth?”  I want to say it aired sometime around 2004?  In the show they put hidden cameras in people’s cars and watched as they rocked out to music in the car – singing and dancing and having a great time because they thought that no one was watching.  I thought this show was hilarious.

Today as I made the 5.5 hour drive I realized that I am indeed one of these “motomouths.”  I have also heard us referred to as dashboard drummers.  I totally do that too!  I love to sing in my car.  No one can judge how bad I am and I have so much fun doing it.  It really makes the five hour plus trek go by quickly.  As I sang along today I was thinking about the old VH1 show and I thought to myself “man…. If anyone was watching me right now they would probably be laughing their butts off at me.”  I am sure that I am way off key and look ridiculous but with the volume turned way up I sound OK to me and who cares right? No one else can hear me.

Are there any other “motormouths” out there willing to accept the title?
