What is one of the best ways to make a car ride not feel as long? My roommate and I have created a new game called “Radio Wars”. We created this game a couple months ago to make our 3 hour car rides from home to school a little bit more interesting. Now many people would laugh at this because honestly, there could be a worse car ride, like one that lasted over 7 hours one way. And of course I would agree with them. But I would also argue that other people might also have a cd player or i-pod they could throw on and not have to worry about finding a good radio station. We however, aren’t so lucky. My roommate’s car has a cassette tape player, and that is it. I could dig around and find some of my old cassettes, but I can only handle instrumental Disney songs for so long without going crazy.
It felt like about every 5 minutes we were scanning the radio looking for a new station to find some good songs. And that was how the game started. Whichever station we landed on, we listened to the song, whoever knew it better got a point. By “knew it better” I mean who got the most lyrics right. Sometimes if we were feeling nice extra points would be given out for style and enthusiasm. If we both know the song equally, we go to a sudden death for the point. We can’t change the station we were on where we both knew the song. Whatever song plays next determine who wins that round. Sometimes we play it and just joke around. It’s nice to jump around to different stations and hear songs that we haven’t heard for years. It was also a huge eye opener to different genres and styles of music I wouldn’t normally give the time of day.
So next time you’re on a road trip with a friend, warm up those pipes and get ready to rumble.
