      It is exactly what some people I know do. If there’s a lot of car enthusiasts or bored teens old enough to drive in that area I can believe seeing that kind of thing. Although I do think it’s an exaggeration.

        “Almost every day?” Maybe, depending, but not always. Which is why I fell back on multiple times a week which is depressingly not an exaggeration.

        Almost every day? Bullshit. Those people are driving somewhere for some purpose, this dude is just too stupid and hateful to realize it.

          It’s not even limited to the US. In Finland it’s called “pilluralli”, “pussy-rally”, and the general associations are of 18-19-year-olds of lower socioeconomical class.

          You’re awfully angry over a passing internet comment and are trying to argue an absolute because of it. Perhaps you’re the stupid and hateful one here?

          There’s no such thing as liking the cold. That’s just a marketing ploy by cities in cold places to drive tourism. People who are cold are cold because they can’t afford warm clothes or heating, or because they have to be out of the house on errands. They’re not in the cold because they like it, that doesn’t exist.
