I admit, I learned to drive as a young adult so I'm not quite as fearless as some. I have certainly gotten more adept at juggling juice bottles, iPod wires, and a steering wheel at the same time, but somehow I don't think I'll ever be quite this relaxed while driving down a congested city street:
(Yes, that car was in motion. As were we. After a while she tucked her foot inside -- just barely inside -- the window frame. The foot remained elevated and she read the paper at every millisecond pause in the stop-and-go traffic. I watched for a while, fascinated.)
Damn. That would win an "only in L.A." contest. But is it completely wrong of me to have seen the photo and had a first thought of "oh, pretty shoes"...? I am going to hell, aren't I.

It's amazing what folks will do behind the wheel of a car.
This is why everyone should be required to drive a stick-shift - much harder to have a foot hanging out the window in stop-and-go traffic if you need that foot for the clutch pedal!!
