If you do, do you get right into it? I love singing in the car. Especially if I'm on my own and there's no one looking at me. It's so much fun to feel the breeze in your hair and let it all out! For some reason singing in the car is like singing in the shower-you always sound so much better than what you do normally! Although it is very embarrassing when you are 'caught out' by a fellow driver. One evening I was at some traffic lights and I was going for it, belting out a tune. I looked over to the car next to me and saw a cop looking at me with a strange look on his face! yeah taht was embarrassing. So do you sing in the car? Have you had any embarrassing moments?

I sing in the car constantly. I even sing with my boyfriend or friend's in the car. Sometimes they all look at me like I am crazy but I love to sing and my 5 month old son loves hearing me sing. No embarrassing moments that I can admit to because no one really pays that close attention to people singing in their cars. Guess I'm lucky because it could be very embarrassing depending on what I am singing. I've never done the singing in the shower though, might have to try that and see if I sound better in there.

I sing in the car on occasion. I'm more likely to sing in the car if I have a bottle of water with me. : ) Actually, I don't care if someone sees me. It's my way of saying whatever to the world. Yeah, I know, it's a pathetic attempt at rebellion.

Yes, alone in the car is pretty much the only place I sing! I guess it would be pretty embarrassing if I had the window down and thought it was up, eh? No, I haven't noticed anyone giving me a funny look over the singing in the care...Did you flash the cop a nice smile?

I am still singing in there - My car recharging
Dear friend,I do sing in my car it is like a mobile studio but not recording studio. I would also sing along with the song in the stereo or radio in the car. This mostly when I am driving along. It gives me so much relaxation. I really enjoy singing when I am driving alone if not I would listen to musics.

I love singing in the car but I am a horrible singer. In the pre-mommy days, I had a convertable... talk about other drivers hearing you.

I sing a lot in the car especially when I'm with my brother. We love singing rock songs every morning. We feel like we are energize whenever we sang these songs. We feel free to do it- scream and laughing.

Oh yeah! I LOVE singing in the car too!! I rarely sing in the shower or bath though. And to date I haven't had any real embarrassing moments - thankfully. But I don't doubt that I will I just try to remember there are a lot of us out there who do it

Singing in a car - Who doesn't? Especially when alone and driving long distances
Who doesn't sing in a car? lol If one person says they don't, I wouldn't believe them. lol Yes I've sang in a car and gotten some stares too and even some mocks but I just laugh it off and go on about my business because I'm not going to let someone ruin my day or fun. lol

I love signing in the car, or whenever I listen to a song that I know the words to. xD But only when I'm by my self.

I sing in the car all the time. My daughter tells me to turn it up so we can sing. Maybe the cop thought you were drunk?

I'm never embarassed when I sing in the car (or the shower) in fact I love doing it. The kids and I play American idol in the car- without the evil Simonisms though. I can't sing at all but love to do it anyway. I have actually sang at people who looked at me weird. I could have scared them- LOL!

One of my favourite stories was when my father was caught out singing along to the Spice Girls. He had to slow to go through the barriers to get into the work car park, and all his team where on the other side of the fence & reminded him of his cool music choices all day! Personally, I rarely sing in the car as I don't really listen to music when I'm driving much. I ought to, as it helps me concentrate. Sometimes I have kids tapes on for long journeys. Then you'd catch me belting out The Wheels on the Bus or something similar. I guess I won't be the only parent who has to sing along with that!

I do like to sign in the car. I sometimes just pick a snog that I know really really well and play it over and over again. By the time I have gotten where I was going...my throat is hoarse!! I really get into the sonfg and shout it out. I stop if I am driving in town though cause I know how funny it looks seeing someone signing (talking to them selves). I could just imagine what people are thinking if they saw me signing in my car. My boyfriend and me like to sign together in the car on occasion. Our problem is that we don't really know a lot of words to too many songs. But it's really cute when he just starts signing at random...too cute! When I was younger I use to sign in the shower, but those were the days of bringing a cd player int the bathroom and staying in the shower until the water turns cold! LOL!

Yes, I like to sing in the car, whether anybody catches me or not. If there's a catchy tune, or one that I particularly like on the radio, then I sing along. I'll bet 99% of people do it so why worry about getting caught? Brightest Blessings.

Its great whilst your in the car with the radio on and a certain favourite song comes on. Its hard to resist to sing along with the song and let your inhibitions go to the wind even though we are caught in the act so to speak.

i love to sing along to my favourite tunes in the car. listening to music and singing helps me takes my mind off the traffic jam and crazy drivers on the road hehe..dont think I've had any embarrassing moments before. But hey, if you feel good singing in your car, just ignore all those funny looks given by others! ;)

I love to sing in the car, but only when I am by myself. I have a terrible voice but love to sing. What better place to do that but in a car with the radio up load and the sunroof open. Like you said the wind in your hair and a song in your heart. I did get embarrassed once, I was pulling into a parking spot and like I said, the radio up and the sunroof open, here I am a bit old, 51, driving a Lincoln, listening to some metal and banging on the steering wheel like it is my drum and in my own little world of rock and roll. Well, there were a few construction men on their brake at the convenience store I stopped at and they all looked my way to see where the music was coming from. When they got a site of me banging my 51 yr. old head to heavy metal the all started to laugh. I was embarrassed at first, then I thought hey, I can't be that old if I am listening to the same music as the generation which was laughing at me.
