I drove a kite this morning

Thrilling. Kind of. Maybe. Easier than navigating ice and freezing fog.
I love the mileage our little coupe gets. And yet driving my side of the road, the gusts working at blowing my car to the other side and a huge dump truck over there coming fast, yup. A bit much on the thrill and excitement.

I have an Explorer and when the wind blows I have to slow it down when driving. It feels like I am about to tip over!

@ElusiveButterfly. Even with that big a vehicle you have problems. I drive slower too when it is gusting.

@sallypup It's because the Explorer is tall, and makes a good sail. That's another reason why the Elantra and I get along so well. She's built low to the ground and holds the road well. These days they're making cars taller to meet all the side impact regulations, but it drives me nuts - the visibility is terrible with those wide side door posts. I rented a Chevy recently. NEVER AGAIN.
