I flippin’ adore you. This entry totally made me think of myself in the car. I can’t not have the radio on or a cd playing when I’m driving. And I usually find a hot dance song and start grooving and singing. And people will look at me and I know they are laughing and what do I do?? I freakin’ wink at them. Am I nuts or what?
In fact, back in the day of singledom, I was at a stop light, windows down, music blaring, dancing away and a guy next to me saw me, so I winked and smiled. He aske me out at the stop light. Hah. I would have taken him up on the offer had his girlfriend not been in the car! She didn’t think I was so cute.
I am your worst nightmare. My car is the one going -thumpthumpthump~
And I listen to the kind of music that makes old ladies commit suicide on the spot.
And I am not self conscious. It’s my car which is my space which is like being in my house.
Now, I don’t flail about or chair dance, I just sing at the top of my lungs and bob my head.
I love car music! I think everyone...well, maybe not everyone...but most people do.
I agree Miss Ann, car music just sounds so good! Plus you have nothing better to do. And no, you’re not my worst nightmare, not unless you plan on ramming into me with our thumpin’ car.
Dana, that’s awesome. Self confidence can be quite an attractive thing.
Mike, goofy people are the best!
I dance in my seat like that lady you saw, singing as loud as I can and just enjoying the moment. Sometimes I get caught and sometimes I don’t. But when I get caught I just look at them as if they are my audience and really act a fool, lol.
I guess I don’t care because chances are, in this big city, I’ll never see them again anyway and if I did I probably wouldn’t remember them.
I am the heavy metal girl. I rock out riding my bike. I sing loudly until I am at a stoplight. I am sure I look hysterical! I used to rock out in my car.....aaaaaah, a car...I miss those things. lol
I sing in the car all the time. I really belt it out. My kids love it. I can’t do it with anyone else in the car.
I’m a car singer. And if I love the song, I’m belting it out at the top of my lungs. I’m sure people catch me all the time, and I don’t care.
Cause it’s my car and I’m enjoying my tunage.
Lots of singers here… I’ll sing sometimes, but more often than not I have no idea what they’re saying. I’m more about the beat. The more bass the better yo!
People are probable thinking the same thing you are when you catch people rocking out. They smile because you are happy.
I agree with Miss Ann too, I think everyone loves car music.
I have pretty varied taste in music so some days I rock out, some days I sing my heart out and other days I just turn up the bass 
TheMan can hear me coming home if I’m by myself but I can’t turn it up like that when the dramas are in there with me.
I don’t dance so much as sign and nod my head. My car is my one personal space that no one can invade. I love it. Especially now that I drive 45 minutes each way. I need new speakers though. Oops.
I meant sing. Not sign. Doh!
Heehee, Keb I thought you meant like gangster signs and such. Watch out! Gangsta mama in da howse!
Sarah, it does depend on the mood. Some days I’m just too tired to want to listen to anything loud.
Karen, you’re probably right!
I *love* singing in the vehicle. It’s the only place I do it well! 
OMG! What did I do to get removed from the pester list??
I sing and dance. If I’m in a really good mood, I don’t care who sees me, but other times I’ll go as far as to put my bluetooth earpiece on to pretend like I’m talking on the phone. Or I won’t do it when other people are around.
I turn up the volume and sing along as loud as I can - at red lights I also tend to mistake my steering wheel for congas! I don’t care anymore if anyone sees me, after all, people who are having a phone conversation using a headset while driving, look even more stupid- as if talking to themselves! I live in Berlin where also a lot of Turkish people live. Especially the guys like to turn up the volume of their Turkish techno music at a red light and I just love to see if I can get ABBA or something equally out-of-date to drown out their sound!
I sing and bounce around a little, not usually enough to totally draw attention, but I’m careful because I am a very good driver. If people are looking, I don’t give a shit.
I almost NEVER see anyone singing or bouncing around, even when they have that Gangsta shit blaring.
Boring people.
Oh my gawd! I totally pretend to be a rock star while driving and good tunes are on. I embarass myself constantly while driving.
I’ve probably the penultimate white guy when it comes to that particular flavor of “car dancing.”
I’ll sing song Tom Petty really, really loudly while doing a vaguely rhythmic head bobble finger tapping thing.
Your image of me is totally destroyed now, isn’t it?
I’ve been known to hold my cellphone up to my ear and pretend I’m talking when I’m really singing my ass off.
I still like ya Tracy. I just needed to shorten my blogroll to keep it useful to me. I seem to have less time now than before for blogging.
Heather, just don’t accidentally toss your earpiece out the window when tossing your head to music.
Sharron, steering wheels make the best congas, don’t they?
Annie, I agree, most people are boring. We need more bouncing in cars!
Donna, we all know you’re not embarrassed. You love the attention, don’t you? 
Joe, on the contrary, it’s only enhanced my image of you!
Oh J, why bother? People on headsets who really are talking on the phone look like they’re talking to themselves, and it’s socially acceptable.
There are times I’m a singing fool...as opposed to just a fool...in my car. I’m pretty much immune to the looks I get from people. Just another goofy trait I exibit at times I guess.
(And wouldn’t yanno....my word verification this time is geeky)
