Have you ever sat in the back row while someone else drives? I was amazed at how long the Ex is. Plus, I had a nice meal of dropped/lost snacks, cereal, candy from the kids.

My kids make such a mess it drives me crazy! Funny thing is when I haul the Scout Troop on trips they keep the Ex nice and clean.

It's that fear factor of a new Adult in charge. Our own kids know we'll let 'um slide.

You know you drive an Ex when you hand the cashier at the convenience store a $100 bill and say $100 on pump 4 knowing you won't fill the tank, the pump kicks off and you still are only 3/4 full.

Hand her $100 knowing that the pump will cut off before you're full.

Kind of reduces "convenience store" to an oxymoron, huh?

...and you surf on FTE on your smartphone while waiting for the pump to hit $100. You read all the new posts and still have time to spare.
