I am a confidence inspiring driver/navigator.

Any body else have this ability? When the roads are badly marked and nobody knows where to go, somehow everybody decides to follow me, even though I have no clue.

Today I was driving around the Denver Tech center. For everybody who doesn’t know the area it is your typical tech park with curvy roads that go nowhere , and roads that turn into parking lots(due to the Federal ‘We will only hire blind crackheads to plan the roads in tech parks and suburbs’ act of 1964). Well lately Denver has the T-REX project going on plus a lot of aditional construction on every road down there now that it is spring.

I was driving around, with a large group of cars, and suddenly for no obvious reason, the road was coned off into a turn into a parking lot. Everyone just sat pouting in their cars, unsure of what to do. I, not being willing to sit around all day wondering, just took off through the parking lot attempting to find my way back to civilization. Immediatly all the other cars jumped into my wake, with quite a competition erupting to see who would be closest to my glorious leading example. I lead my little parade through 15 minutes of wild ass guessing what roads to take, with most of the roads ending in construction, making complete circles, or being coned off into random directions. But still they followed me. My complete ineptitude, obvious from the fact I went through one intersection from three different dircetions, was lost on my disciples. Not a single one of the twenty or so had strayed by the time I finally reached the Interstate on-ramp. I’m pretty sure I could have lead them all off a cliff.

It happens to me fairly often. I’m not sure the exact methods I use to appear confident while navigating out of my ass, but I only wish I could use this ability for some money making purpose.

Have a friend set up a paid parking lot, or something.
Lead cars into it, pay your friend.
The car behind you is blocked in by the car behind him… has to pay.
The car behind that car is blocked in by the one following it… has to pay.
Etc etc.
Split the money later.

Eh. I dunno.

You led them through the Cones, dude! I will blindly follow anybody who has the balls to Bypass The Cones!

Lead on!

Next time, see if you can get them to fan out in a ‘V’ shape behind you and start honking.

I will not turn around.

I will not ask for directions.

I will not admit I was lost to anyone then present.
Well done, wolfman. By your shining example you have intruduced scores to three of the most important Male Driving Rules.

Rest well, for this day you have shown your mettle.

So is the T-REX project where you set up big speakers playing “Bang A Gong”, or what?
