Sometimes I do some dancing with my car. Not in but with. I watched people dancing in their cars at stoplights, listening to music. Sure, one can only see upper part of the body and hands moving, and car rocking, and one can tell that the person is dancing. It is pretty impressive, but this is not what I’m talking about here.

If I’m in the mood (and this can just come suddenly), I would check if anybody around can be scared, and if not, I would start steering my car to the left and right slightly, in the rhythm of whatever music I have playing either in my CD palyer or in my head. Passengers usually do not like this, so this is a fun for a lonely driver. Of course, you don’t want to overdo your steering and took off the road, so keep yourself remembering you are at the wheel

they make this thing that you wire into your dome light inside your car. It hooks up to the speaker wires and pulses the dome light to the beat of whatever music you are listening to.

of course at that point, I'd be so overstimulated by the lights and music that I'd forget I was driving... but its a fun thought.

In September, on my 5500 mile motorcycle trip with my Honda VFR 800, I rode the Tail of the Dragon. It's an 11 mile section of highway between North Carolina and Tennessee. That 11 mile stretch has more than 300 curves, at least two marked for 10 mph. It was fun.

Bikers from all over the U.S. and Canada go there to ride the Tail of the Dragon. There have been serious accidents there, mainly because some bikers ride in a way that should be limited to race tracks.

With this link, you can find good photos and videos of the Tail of the Dragon:

No. I don't dance. I prefer quiet string music when I drive, nothing that will distract, but will be there in the background.

I agree. Dancing with a love one, a person, not a car, is the best way to dance.

I don't know how great my mind is. I just want to keep it in my head, along with all of my brain tissue, and every piece of my skull. (lols)

Some low riders have hydraulic systems capable of making a car jump into the air. Is that dancing?
