Good morning, Girls👋. Your roads are just like mine here in Tennessee 😂. What I don’t like is people taking the curve on the wrong side of the road 😡. We also have Amish buggies which are awful at night! Be careful out there 💗
Love Dad's Chevy Truck! The countryside outside your window during the video is so beautiful! Oh yes, here's the secret to operating the clutch: (1) Push clutch pedal realtively quickly in one motion ALL the way to the floor. (2) Then, relatively quickly and in one motion, let the clutch pedal out about 2/3 the way, maybe 3/4 depending on the car. This is the "friction point", where the clutch begins to engage. (3) From this point, let the clutch out SLOWLY, while SIMULTANEOUSLY giving gas INCREASINGLY (but also slowly, smoothly). You use this same sequence for every gear change, though each gear have different "proportions" so to speak (a little longer, a little faster, no all the way to the floor, not so slow, not so much gas, more gas, etc.. The most extreme is when pulling away from a stop. That'S when you use this procedure most literally. The other gears you can improvise a little. You even use this basic procedure for slowing down the car by shifting to a lower gear and using this "friction point" and the last 1/4 pedal motion to use the motor as a "brake". Give it another try. And Bravo Katie! No passing on blind curves, EVER! (That DOT lady was, of course, crazy.) God bless!
Luv all ur videos!!! The 'wave' explanation is spot on! I took 'driver ed' when I was 15 1/2 [way back in 1970]....1st 'driver ed' car I drove was a new [loaner from the local dealership] '70 Chevelle SS, 4 sp.. The 2nd car was a '64 Chevy Impala SS 4 sp.. Good times! When I was 5, I was 'play' driving my dad's brand new '60 Impala.....I took it out of gear, released the parking brake and 'drove' it down a steep embankment. Yes, it had to be towed back to the dealership for repairs.
That’s killer! So so cool! I wish they still made cars worth driving, and you learned on one! So cool! And glad to see someone else understands the waves! 😂 happy new year!
I started driving a tractor when I was 5 years old and got a lot of practice by the time I turned 16. We raised tobacco and my granddaddy would put me in the seat and I would drive down the drag rows while the older kids primed the tobacco and put it on the trailer I was pulling. My driver's ed teacher fell asleep when I was taking driver's ed in school and I drove around the County about an hour before he woke up! Didn't get much instruction from him but I passed with flying colors 😄Our waves are pretty much the same as yours unless it's hot enough to ride with the windows down. Most of our vehicles growing up didn't have AC so we waved with our arm that was hanging out the window and held onto the wheel with our right hand👋 Love the driving videos!
I love the explanation of the waves!! I live in Maryland, which is technically a Southern state, but only some people wave here. When walking by people in my community, I will nod up or down depending on who they are - so funny that yall have different waves too
Lol I grew up in Maryland but my dad was from Tennessee and we always went back down to grandpa's in Tennessee. They always waved there so I got into the habit of waving to people. Some would wave back others just look at you.
@@larrycounce4509 oh yea back in 1990 I got to move to Tennessee and have loved it ever since we would come back to help grandpa on the farm. The one we was able to get. I still wave all the time, but any more alot of the younger generation just don't around here now.
Started driving about 12years old. My dad was an alcoholic who didn't want to get caught driving under the influence so he started us driving super early. So funny that we never once got pulled over. We used to have so much fun out running around. I loved it. LOL. He eventually gave up drinking but not till I was well into my 20s. Good memories!!
I think why these videos are so popular is cause y'all have such pleasant voices to the ear, and you're fantastic story tellers. You've spend just the right amount of recall without bogging down in too many details. Happy New Year.
The best segment is at 19:44 about "the waves." We don't wave much in the North because traffic is often so congested and weather can be riskier than in the South. I was told once that when police pass each other, even in a plain unmarked car, they keep the thumb wrapped around the top of the wheel for safety, and flash four fingers up and down quickly.
I’m in southwestern Virginia and the roads are varied here with Interstate 81 and then curvy backroads. I believe that we girls that drive on curvy/hilly roads are at an advantage as that helps us to be able to drive anywhere. My first year of teaching I moved to the Charlottesville VA area. One of my landlords was from Richmond and her husband was from where I live in the southwestern part of the state. When we had a big snow that winter, my landlord from Richmond started telling me, in front of her husband, about an alternate route to take to get to somewhere I was going and was telling me how careful I needed to be. Her husband started to laugh out loud and said to her, “She drives on hills and curves back home. She can out drive everyone up here!” 🤣
Hey that’s neat! And that’s right you would be really used to driving those crazy roads! I think we have an advantage too! We are just more used to it! Happy new year!
I grew up and learned to drive in Pittsburgh PA. There are no level or straight streets there at all. The streets are very narrow with parking on both sides, and public transportation busses squeezing through. You had to drive like a rabbit, ducking in and out, swerving left and right, and starting and stopping. There were trolly tracks in the roads and brick roads. It is all uphill and S-bends. I had to learn on a manual transmission. When I first started driving, I would go five miles out of my way to avoid certain intersections with a red light at the top of a steep hill, so I wouldn't drift backwards trying to start in first gear. Took some time but I mastered it. Happy New Years to you all.
BRRRR! ❄ Oklahoma was 80° 2 days ago. Today it's 17° and dropping - with sleet, rain, snow AND ITS HEADING YOUR WAY. Enjoy the shorts-weather while you have it. HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY EVERYTHING, LADIES.
Where you live in NC Reminds me a lot of middle TN. It is very hilly and curvy and the Roads are narrow here as well. One terribly curvy part is called devil's elbow, And it has that name for a reason.... Lots of wrecks and some deaths. Be careful Out There girls
I have always lived in the country. Started driving my Grandpa’s truck when I was nine to help him in the fields. Got my first motorcycle when I was 13 and car when I was 14. We always (and still do) wave going down the road. We brought our kids up the same way learning to drive when they were young. Now the grandkids living next door are driving at 9 years old. Country living is the best!
You are both so entertaining. Thank you for a beautiful drive. I love driving and riding in the mountains, especially in the fall. So I might be one of those messing up the traffic and I am sorry!
I was 17 the first time I drove. My boyfriend and I were in his dad’s yellow panel station wagon. He let me get in the drivers seat. We had tu go up a hill and over railroad tracks. When we went over the tracks the accelerator got stuck. We we’re going pretty fast and I couldn’t stop. He put the car in park. It sounded like the transmission fell out of the car. Thank goodness he had gone through auto shop at school. He got out and discovered the problem got it fixed. Needless to say I was shaking to death we headed straight to his house. Thankfully the car was fine.
I failed my first written test. So my friend took me to the next town. I took the exact same test. 100%😁 My driving part of the test.. lol... I did good on everything except....told the man who was testing me.....I don't know how to parallel park. He smiled and said, "I can't either." So he passed me with a perfect score. I can parallel park now, but it takes me 2 or 3 tries. Driving can be stressful. When I drive to St. Louis to see my son it's 105 miles. 80% highway and 20% city streets. I'd rather clean 12 toilets than drive in the city. 😳
My first DMV written test they marked 1 answer as wrong. I told them to recheck it. When they did it turned out they had marked a correct answer as wrong. I got 100%.
I love driving in the south! My first car was an Oldsmobile Calais. Pure lemon. Stranded me so many times with the alternator gone that I gave it up and got rid of it. They have moisture problems underneath the hood. For me it only took a few months in the 1980s to get my driver's license in British Columbia. However, now it takes almost 3 years. You got to do a written test. That's to get your "L" or learners. After the end of one year, you can test to get an "N" for new. That last 18 months to 2 years. Then you test again to get your full license. Now I drive a Ford Ranger. I'm a Ford girl, which is common up here. Happy New Year ladies! Hope 2022 is great for you. 💜 PS we have dogs, black bears and deer on our roads.
Oh wow! Pap had an Oldsmobile and we loved it. That’s really neat but not cool that it left you high and dry! I can relate to that for sure. And only a few months? That’s crazy! Your right it takes a long time now!!! Happy new year!
@@thepressleygirls Happy New Year to you and your family too!!! My first post should have said the 1980s not the '70s. I should learn to proof read. Lol.
I love driving in the south videos. I live in Hiawassee Ga now and the rodes are really curvy. I always wanted to be a race car driver 😅. I worked for a Ford dealership and drove everywhere for them. It was like a dream come true. Ford chose me to go to the last race of the century and I got to drive on the tracks before the race that year!! I was on cloud nine for days after that 😂. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🎊
I started my first, and only, band in 1971. Our first gig was at our high school cafetorium (cafeteria / auditorium) where 10 years earlier Jerry Garcia played his very first live gig. That's when I realized that I DO NOT like being on stage. I quit my own band and became the soundman, which I continued to do for 20 years. The school celebrated it's 100th year anniversary in 2008, and at that time they said they had plans of changing the name of the school because the current mollycoddled "safe space" generation felt "bullied" when rival schools would make fun of the school's name, "Analy High". A bunch of us alumni got together and filed a petition to keep the name. I was so disappointed when I learned that in 2021 they changed the name to "West County High". They are still using the Tiger as their mascot, which I don't feel they deserve. I plan to start a petition to get them to stop using the Tiger, and maybe switch to something like My Little Pony.
The roads in my neck of the Kentucky woods are curvy and narrow too, not all, but the rural areas are pretty hilly and curvy. Yep, boxes, etc stuff that has fallen off trucks or wind blown from some place happens here too. but the most scary to me is the Amish buggies, love them, but so scary to round a bend and almost hit one. Well girls, I spend one time with each of my girls to teach them to drive, they scared the life out of me so I had to let their dad teach them or one of their older friends LOL. I've had my share of breakdowns on the road, flat tire, busted water hose, brake lines, fuel pumps going out and the alternator. scary stuff for sure especially in bad weather, or at night. This was lots of fun to watch. THanks for sharing.
The wave and types of are so cool! I was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Currently I live in Kelowna, British Columbia Canada. It took a lot to get used to the ups n downs and turns of the mountains. Now in straight roads it just seems like it takes forever.
Im from New York, And I first got my drivers license in oklahoma. On curvy narrow , farm equipment etc. Scarey then , now 43 yrs later . I can drive almost any kind of road lol
I love the driving in the south videos. I think they are so popular because of the great chemistry y'all have together. Even though you are sisters y'all still have different personalities but are great together.
Great video I’ve got two daughters that I taught to drive outside the city Atlanta. They’re 30 years old now and what great memories just came to mind thanks for making my new year I love watching
Hey that’s great and driving in Atlanta is hard. I once drove right down through the middle of town. If you can drive in Atlanta you can drive anywhere!
I learned to drive in a cow pasture on the farm my grandad grew up on. I was barely big enough to see over the steering wheel of dads ole chevy. The weather here in Virginia has been crazy warm as well. Take care, stay safe n Happy New Year to you all!!
Love these too.. also learned on a dirt road with dad then brother, “three on the tree” stick shift, then on the floor, proud to pass on my 16th bday, years of fun practicing, and the only kid in the family to do so, bragging rites. A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO YOU GALS
Love the driving in the South videos. Love the old 4runner. I dont like warm weather, especially in January. But good news for us is that it's getting in the teens tonight and the highs all week are in the 30s and 40s which is how I like it in January. Great video.
Great video. It's just good entertainment driving along with you ladies. The waves here where we live there is a big change in culture. Use to drive down the road people sitting on porch would wave and every car you would meet would wave. Just not so much anymore. Hope you guys have a safe and healthy New Year 💗
Katie, thanks for the lesson on what different waving gestures mean. We still wave here in central Texas. In fact, it is not at all uncommon when driving behind someone going slower than you want to go that the person you are following will pull over on the shoulder to allow you to pass. Of course, our roads are wider, flatter and straighter in most places than most roads in your area. I never had problems driving or riding on twisting roads in the NC/TN/VA mountains. (originally from Raleigh and spent much time in the mountains for work and pleasure; my Pa was born in Swain County). BTW: I drove in the mountains long before I40 was built.
I love these videos. You girls are a great inspiration to others. I can relate to all your videos my family lives in Burnsville NC. And the wave thing was hilarious to me cause I live in Ohio my family comes here and waves at people they usually get the Ohio wave which is the middle finger. Or dirty looks like what the heck. I guess what I am trying to say is people in Appalachia are much different than people in the city. Love you girls keep up the great work
Ladies your stories today are delightfully entertaining as always. You asked about the weather here where I live in central Texas. Our weather is always one extreme or another. We had unseasonably warm temps last week for December but the wind blew like crazy which brings in dust storms from the west. Now we are in for a week of cold with the lows at night in low 20's, not much to you but the wind will make you change your mind about going outside. Already 33 F. on my porch at dusky dark forecast for 21 with high winds . Great show.
I grew up on Long Island, NY. We bought our farm here in Ashe County NC in 2011. It was an absolute delight to be here and it reminds me very much of my childhood. The phrases, words and mannerisms here are very similar to Long Island back in the 60s & 70s. Everyone waves as they drive by, everyone has a big garden, puts up food, stops to chat. Round here in Ashe County most folks just do the 2 finger wave and the head bob. Folks pull over to pray if they encounter a funeral procession on the road. They flick their headlights if there is something to watch out for down the road. I spent the first 58 years of my life on Long Island, and am so very glad to spend the rest of my life here. My soul needs the mountains and if I never left the boundaries of Ashe County again, I'd die happy.
My older sister driving through the back roads from Walland to Townsend taking corners at 55-60 mph sometimes, I prayed the whole way!😂 Tn has their waves too, I love that , we always said the nod was the super cool people who couldn't be bothered with waving.😂😂 I was over 18 when i got my license and i got it because my boyfriend kept forgetting to pick me up from work 😂😂 Good times ! Y'all keep em coming 💯❤️
Miss Katie looks very cute with her hair up, love the stories and the soothing accent. I had a 1985 Silverado, drove it for 13 years. I failed my first driving test at 16, because the instructor said to backup until he said stop. So I backed up and stopped when he said...he said, you failed! I asked why? He said because I didn't turn to look behind me. I said that's what the outside mirrors are for sir. I had to come back again "30 miles away" I passed✨️
We still wave like that here In Tennessee! And there is always something in the road . Now that I’m getting older I wanna stop and investigate what it is ! Y’all stay safe on your side of the hill !
Preventative and predictive maintenance goes a long way in stopping those unexpected side of the road emergencies. Other than oil and filter changes I'm the worst at not properly maintaining my cars like I should, I guess because of the associated costs, but it's a pay me now or pay me later type thing. I'm hoping y'all have a car trouble free 2022 and safe driving out there!
When I was in high school we didn't have a driving class. Then the DMV had a twenty question test, which was easy. And the driving test was literally just going around the block. 😂 Well, technically it was two blocks. Went down two streets, turned left, then two more lefts and was back to the DMV. LOL Katie's stories about all her car problems reminds me of one time years ago I was living in Indiana. I had taken a trip home to TN for a visit and got back to Indiana. Next day I went out to my car and I couldn't get it to turn or anything. Turns out my serpentine belt had snapped. Somehow I had made the long eight hour trip all the way back to Indiana with no problems, and the belt didn't break until it was in the garage. I've seen a meme before about the various waves. Haha
I'm in Northern Iowa. We got a little bit of snow today, but just a skiff. It is currently 0 degrees right now, but it will be -7 degrees F by morning. I learned to drive in Driver's Ed, which was offered through my high school. I was born and raised in Mississippi, so I learned to drive on those old back roads. 😂 Happy New Year!!
You two are a Trip enjoy watching y'all if you do know what a Trip is ask your Mom and Dad 😂 and enjoy y'all music Happy New Year to you both and family
You need to give your daddy an award for all that road service. lol We were driving from Miami to Naples (across the state of Florida) and had our alternator go out. Thank goodness the battery was fully charged when we started. We ended up going about 100miles on that charged battery. I got a reworked alternator the next day ... back when working on cars was a LOT easier. It was quite a simple job at that time. These days I look under the hood and want to yell. There is no room at all. Katie obviously got over the problem of not being able to do anything but hold onto the wheel and focus. I had to laugh watching he talk with that right hand while driving.
When I was in high school we lived in the country and my dad would let me take the car to my girlfriends house which was about twenty minutes away through more country...he was very trusting and I had no license yet...I never got in trouble. When I took drivers training I knew how to drive...the instructor just often told me to slow down...haha. I'm 75 now...
Roads in Kansas and Nebraska: flat and very wide, mostly two-lane. Obstacles: loose cows, deer, turkeys, owls, badgers, raccoons, tumbleweeds, tornados, and hail. :) We do the same waves and nod on the Plains, too! Interesting.
I was a late bloomer. I didn’t learn how to drive until I was 25 years. I had to take the driving exam twice. That was back in 1992. Those Toyota 4Runners will last just about forever when taken care with regular maintenance 👩🔧…
I just moved, 5 months ago, from Fresno, CA to Tellico Plains, TN. Hoping to have snow for my first winter here, but it is currently 72 degrees at 9:30 am.
I love the waves we southerners have whether we know you or not, and the nods if you're not quick enough to wave! I don't do I-40! I don't drive on it and I don't ride with anyone else on it! It's an accident waiting to happen! If I can't get there without going on 40 I just don't go! Lucky I don't live in the mountains or I'd be staying home a lot lol!
I had kin who lived up in the Andrews area. I absolutely hated the road to get there. One lane carved into the side of a mountain. If you came on another car one of you had to back up down a curvy road until you came to an area wide enough to pass. I remember seeing a car in the tree tops, and this was in the days before cell phones so who knows how long you would have to wait for help if that happened.
I feel blessed that my granddad was a good ole boy who used to load me and my cousins into his truck and would drive sometimes randomly around on the country roads. One day when I was a kid we see a house up on a bluff with an old lady sitting on the porch. My granddad stopped the truck, went up to her said hello and had a conversation with her, very Southern. When he came back he told me that the woman he talked to was 'Mama Walton' (actually Mrs. Hamner) featured in the TV series The Waltons, she was older at this point and looked a lot like Grandma Walton. The site is now the Walton's Mountain Museum in Schuyler (Sky-ler) Virginia.
Ha ha girls, when I drove for my drink test. I ended up, in a trailer park, in someone’s drive way! He said miss, you had some turns, where you went left over right. 🤪 Oh dear heavens, I sure did not pass, 😙 Such a deal, learning to drive. 😅 Thank you for sharing your sweet stories. 🚙🚙
Yes! I love the Driving in the South videos! They make me feel like a good friend to ride with you. This was a fun conversation. When I was 15 and a half, I drove with a coach and two sisters (17 and 18] whose dad had never let them sit behind the wheel. 😳Yes...it was kind of funny. My Mom took me down to the church beforehand and made me practice...I was so thankful for that when it was time to go with Coach. Thanks for sharing your memories with us! Fun! ❤️🙏🏻 Jane from SC
Sunday's high is in the low 70s, cold front moving through and the low is in high 30s to low 40s. Weather here turns around faster than a Hwy-221 switchback! It almost never stays cold long enough to matter. I miss snow... Happy New Year to two wonderful and safe drivers! 🥳
I'm in my 50s & I've never had a driving ticket, etc. I had my 1st accident a couple of months ago, when someone hit me (Thank God, I was totally ok.). Here in Minnesota, we have snow right now, but it's not too bad where I live. But I absolutely HATE driving in the winter here. I'm extra careful, as one should be. Thanks to my Papa's help in practice driving & my parents' advice in general, I got my license. Happy New Year! God Bless!! 🥳🤙
Really enjoyed this! I live in southeastern coastal Virginia in the agricultural region -in the middle of 5 different farm families who have been here for many many generations. I am a transplant but from 30 yrs ago and raised my family here. The friendly acknowledgment of pulling over a narrow road to let the neighbor pass or the gianormous combine 😆 makes me happy to be part of the friendly sign language 🥰 Y’all nailed the ‘waives’ to neighbors, friends, acquaintances-absolutely 😀 really enjoyed this video. Happy New Year 🎆
I love your driving videos. I love the old 85 Chevy. We recently became part of the Toyota fam but with a sedan 😕 People say I talk like y’all do! I have a 06 Explorer that is an “all-leather, sport package” like Katie said. 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve put a lot of money into her and love her like you love yours.
I'm in Northwest IN. We wore short sleeves on Christmas day and today it's 35 and a storm is blowing in. Could get 4-8 inches of snow or more by tomorrow. And we could see -1 degrees by tomorrow. WOOT WOOT!
Corie, you have about 60 more days living with Katie. Y'all need to make a DiD video every day between now and March 12! Thanks for the video (and all the others) you've done.🤠
So driving.. Take a trip to Los Angeles and NY rent a car see what you think of the drivers. Here in Wilmington NC this fall and beginning winter it's been warmer than previous yrs.
Driving in the south, sound like driving in the north woods back road, you learn very quickly to slow down and take your time, I learn to drive on my uncle farm on his tractor in the hay fields that was fun. You girls like to know the weather here in Wisconsin it in the middle teens some ice and snow on the road, I got 18f and today on new year day there are people that go out to the lake Michigan and jump in the water to start the new year off right I think but it to cold for me. Corie and Katie maybe now you got driving the cars down pack found yourself a nice motorcycle to drive those country road, I think you all will enjoy doing that and you girls will look very cool like real biker babe. Take care god bless.
This first day of 2022 it’s cold 🥶 - 30 ish but it is warming up to -2 tomorrow 😀 then back in to the deep freeze for a few weeks. Enjoy your warm weather
If yuns ladies can drive Mecca pike from Etowah TN to Tellico pains in the winter that takes some skill and even then you could very well have a wreck hopefully not but its happend to people on that stretch of two lane terror.. that road got more hilly curves than a slinky got spirals
Good morning! Happy New Year! Enjoyed another episode of driving in the south as always!! I’m that person that pretty much has to drive everywhere we go because I get car sick real easy to. Oh yea know all about those waves y’all talked about, I wave at SO MANY people I don’t even know and Robbie Lynn, s like who was that I’m like I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️😂👍🏻 I won’t even talk about SPEEDING TICKETS!!! GOD Bless Y’all. 😇🙏🏻
Happy New Year! I loved hearing your driving stories. I never knew about the waving. That was interesting! I started driving, when I was out of high school. My first car was red 1973 Rally Sport Camaro. It was a cop magnet. LOL! I got a few speeding tickets, but thankfully mo points on my license.
In Texas you have to parallel park, if you touch a pole or the curb you fail and have to be within 18 inches of the curb. If you pass that then you go drive through a low traffic area with three left and three right turns
I Agee I do not drive that good at night. I failed my driving test once. I think most girls do. Don’t feel bad I got two tickets in one stop, yes interstate 40 is a great place for a ticket.
Unfortunately my new year has starded of bad. My girlfriend and i just lost everything in a house fire... but we are safe. Everything else can be replaced... i sure hope 2022 gets better. Way better... you girls have a wonderfully blessed new year... god bless.
Michael, I am so sorry to hear that! We will be praying for you guys and please let us know if there is anything we can do. God bless and keep you guys! ❤️
Very nice. I am Jessica and I live in the south, and I always drive barefoot because it is more comfortable. You should try driving barefoot it will be much more comfortable.
IN THE APPALACHIANS IT'S REALLY NOT SAFE TO BE OUT TRAVELING ON BACK ROADS AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY LATE AT NIGHT. KEEP A CELL PHONE LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT ROUTE YOU ARE TAKING ESPECIALLY FAMILY. WOMEN ESPECIALLY KEEP UP WITH EACH OTHER AT ALL TIMES IT'S A BIG WORLD OUT THERE AND NOT ALL PEOPLE NICE.
I’m from the hills and hollers in Kentucky so I sure do understand the roads and the waves but your explanation of two fingers and a thumb means “hey, hey you and your momma and them” had me laughing my behind off.
Good morning, Girls👋. Your roads are just like mine here in Tennessee 😂. What I don’t like is people taking the curve on the wrong side of the road 😡. We also have Amish buggies which are awful at night! Be careful out there 💗
Love Dad's Chevy Truck! The countryside outside your window during the video is so beautiful! Oh yes, here's the secret to operating the clutch: (1) Push clutch pedal realtively quickly in one motion ALL the way to the floor. (2) Then, relatively quickly and in one motion, let the clutch pedal out about 2/3 the way, maybe 3/4 depending on the car. This is the "friction point", where the clutch begins to engage. (3) From this point, let the clutch out SLOWLY, while SIMULTANEOUSLY giving gas INCREASINGLY (but also slowly, smoothly). You use this same sequence for every gear change, though each gear have different "proportions" so to speak (a little longer, a little faster, no all the way to the floor, not so slow, not so much gas, more gas, etc.. The most extreme is when pulling away from a stop. That'S when you use this procedure most literally. The other gears you can improvise a little. You even use this basic procedure for slowing down the car by shifting to a lower gear and using this "friction point" and the last 1/4 pedal motion to use the motor as a "brake". Give it another try. And Bravo Katie! No passing on blind curves, EVER! (That DOT lady was, of course, crazy.) God bless!
‘How’s your mom and them’ 😂 that’s so sweet
Luv all ur videos!!! The 'wave' explanation is spot on! I took 'driver ed' when I was 15 1/2 [way back in 1970]....1st 'driver ed' car I drove was a new [loaner from the local dealership] '70 Chevelle SS, 4 sp.. The 2nd car was a '64 Chevy Impala SS 4 sp.. Good times! When I was 5, I was 'play' driving my dad's brand new '60 Impala.....I took it out of gear, released the parking brake and 'drove' it down a steep embankment. Yes, it had to be towed back to the dealership for repairs.
That’s killer! So so cool! I wish they still made cars worth driving, and you learned on one! So cool! And glad to see someone else understands the waves! 😂 happy new year!
I started driving a tractor when I was 5 years old and got a lot of practice by the time I turned 16. We raised tobacco and my granddaddy would put me in the seat and I would drive down the drag rows while the older kids primed the tobacco and put it on the trailer I was pulling. My driver's ed teacher fell asleep when I was taking driver's ed in school and I drove around the County about an hour before he woke up! Didn't get much instruction from him but I passed with flying colors 😄Our waves are pretty much the same as yours unless it's hot enough to ride with the windows down. Most of our vehicles growing up didn't have AC so we waved with our arm that was hanging out the window and held onto the wheel with our right hand👋 Love the driving videos!
Hey that’s just awesome! Very cool. Happy new year!
I love the explanation of the waves!! I live in Maryland, which is technically a Southern state, but only some people wave here. When walking by people in my community, I will nod up or down depending on who they are - so funny that yall have different waves too
Lol I grew up in Maryland but my dad was from Tennessee and we always went back down to grandpa's in Tennessee. They always waved there so I got into the habit of waving to people. Some would wave back others just look at you.
@@HolmansHomestead Yep us Tennessean's do wave when driving, walking or sitting on the porch and in the air.
@@larrycounce4509 oh yea back in 1990 I got to move to Tennessee and have loved it ever since we would come back to help grandpa on the farm. The one we was able to get. I still wave all the time, but any more alot of the younger generation just don't around here now.
Yes the wave! It’s so sweet and I smile every time someone waves at me! That’s nice that they do it there too!
When I was in the Navy, I never could understand the WAVES.
Started driving about 12years old. My dad was an alcoholic who didn't want to get caught driving under the influence so he started us driving super early. So funny that we never once got pulled over. We used to have so much fun out running around. I loved it. LOL. He eventually gave up drinking but not till I was well into my 20s. Good memories!!
So glad he gave it up and y'all were able to enjoy him!
Thats actually pretty scary. The fact that no adults saw you and called the cops must mean you live in the sticks and/or nobody cared
I think why these videos are so popular is cause y'all have such pleasant voices to the ear, and you're fantastic story tellers. You've spend just the right amount of recall without bogging down in too many details. Happy New Year.
Thank you so much. Happy new year!
The best segment is at 19:44 about "the waves." We don't wave much in the North because traffic is often so congested and weather can be riskier than in the South. I was told once that when police pass each other, even in a plain unmarked car, they keep the thumb wrapped around the top of the wheel for safety, and flash four fingers up and down quickly.
Oh yes that’s a good point the weather is a lot harder up there than it is here. And thank you! Happy new year!
I’m in southwestern Virginia and the roads are varied here with Interstate 81 and then curvy backroads. I believe that we girls that drive on curvy/hilly roads are at an advantage as that helps us to be able to drive anywhere. My first year of teaching I moved to the Charlottesville VA area. One of my landlords was from Richmond and her husband was from where I live in the southwestern part of the state. When we had a big snow that winter, my landlord from Richmond started telling me, in front of her husband, about an alternate route to take to get to somewhere I was going and was telling me how careful I needed to be. Her husband started to laugh out loud and said to her, “She drives on hills and curves back home. She can out drive everyone up here!” 🤣
Yeah I was in that general area for Christmas near where interstate 81 and 77 are is absolutely crazy
Hey that’s neat! And that’s right you would be really used to driving those crazy roads! I think we have an advantage too! We are just more used to it! Happy new year!
Hey, it's a new year in NH as well! All the best to you two in 2022!
PS: Katie may talk 100 mph, but she keeps her eyes on the road, laser focused!
Good morning and Happy New Year to you lovely and gorgeous ladies ❤️
I grew up and learned to drive in Pittsburgh PA. There are no level or straight streets there at all. The streets are very narrow with parking on both sides, and public transportation busses squeezing through. You had to drive like a rabbit, ducking in and out, swerving left and right, and starting and stopping. There were trolly tracks in the roads and brick roads. It is all uphill and S-bends. I had to learn on a manual transmission. When I first started driving, I would go five miles out of my way to avoid certain intersections with a red light at the top of a steep hill, so I wouldn't drift backwards trying to start in first gear. Took some time but I mastered it. Happy New Years to you all.
Bless your heart! I still can’t drive a manual 🤣
BRRRR! ❄ Oklahoma was 80° 2 days ago. Today it's 17° and dropping - with sleet, rain, snow AND ITS HEADING YOUR WAY. Enjoy the shorts-weather while you have it. HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY EVERYTHING, LADIES.
Where you live in NC Reminds me a lot of middle TN. It is very hilly and curvy and the Roads are narrow here as well. One terribly curvy part is called devil's elbow, And it has that name for a reason.... Lots of wrecks and some deaths. Be careful Out There girls
I have always lived in the country. Started driving my Grandpa’s truck when I was nine to help him in the fields. Got my first motorcycle when I was 13 and car when I was 14. We always (and still do) wave going down the road. We brought our kids up the same way learning to drive when they were young. Now the grandkids living next door are driving at 9 years old. Country living is the best!
Hey that’s really cool!!! Yes that’s the best way and gotta love country living!
You are both so entertaining. Thank you for a beautiful drive. I love driving and riding in the mountains, especially in the fall. So I might be one of those messing up the traffic and I am sorry!
Oh your just fine! Thank you! And happy happy new year!
I was 17 the first time I drove. My boyfriend and I were in his dad’s yellow panel station wagon. He let me get in the drivers seat. We had tu go up a hill and over railroad tracks. When we went over the tracks the accelerator got stuck. We we’re going pretty fast and I couldn’t stop. He put the car in park. It sounded like the transmission fell out of the car. Thank goodness he had gone through auto shop at school. He got out and discovered the problem got it fixed. Needless to say I was shaking to death we headed straight to his house. Thankfully the car was fine.
I failed my first written test. So my friend took me to the next town. I took the exact same test. 100%😁
My driving part of the test.. lol... I did good on everything except....told the man who was testing me.....I don't know how to parallel park. He smiled and said, "I can't either."
So he passed me with a perfect score. I can parallel park now, but it takes me 2 or 3 tries.
Driving can be stressful. When I drive to St. Louis to see my son it's 105 miles. 80% highway and
20% city streets. I'd rather clean 12 toilets than drive in the city. 😳
My first DMV written test they marked 1 answer as wrong. I told them to recheck it. When they did it turned out they had marked a correct answer as wrong. I got 100%.
I still can’t parallel park and I am with you, I would rather clean the toilets than have to drive in a city!
@@thepressleygirls Yes. City drivin is a nerve wrecker for sure.
It's all about the Wave in WNC!
I love driving in the south! My first car was an Oldsmobile Calais. Pure lemon. Stranded me so many times with the alternator gone that I gave it up and got rid of it. They have moisture problems underneath the hood. For me it only took a few months in the 1980s to get my driver's license in British Columbia. However, now it takes almost 3 years. You got to do a written test. That's to get your "L" or learners. After the end of one year, you can test to get an "N" for new. That last 18 months to 2 years. Then you test again to get your full license. Now I drive a Ford Ranger. I'm a Ford girl, which is common up here. Happy New Year ladies! Hope 2022 is great for you. 💜 PS we have dogs, black bears and deer on our roads.
Oh wow! Pap had an Oldsmobile and we loved it. That’s really neat but not cool that it left you high and dry! I can relate to that for sure. And only a few months? That’s crazy! Your right it takes a long time now!!! Happy new year!
@@thepressleygirls Happy New Year to you and your family too!!! My first post should have said the 1980s not the '70s. I should learn to proof read. Lol.
Katie makes some of the funniest face sometimes
I love driving in the south videos. I live in Hiawassee Ga now and the rodes are really curvy. I always wanted to be a race car driver 😅. I worked for a Ford dealership and drove everywhere for them. It was like a dream come true. Ford chose me to go to the last race of the century and I got to drive on the tracks before the race that year!! I was on cloud nine for days after that 😂. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🎊
Hey that’s really cool! And Hiawassee is very close to use! Happy new year!
Y'all are definiely 35 years ahead of your time. That is a good thing. If younger people only knew how good it was in the 80's. I hope you understand.
I started my first, and only, band in 1971. Our first gig was at our high school cafetorium (cafeteria / auditorium) where 10 years earlier Jerry Garcia played his very first live gig. That's when I realized that I DO NOT like being on stage. I quit my own band and became the soundman, which I continued to do for 20 years. The school celebrated it's 100th year anniversary in 2008, and at that time they said they had plans of changing the name of the school because the current mollycoddled "safe space" generation felt "bullied" when rival schools would make fun of the school's name, "Analy High". A bunch of us alumni got together and filed a petition to keep the name. I was so disappointed when I learned that in 2021 they changed the name to "West County High". They are still using the Tiger as their mascot, which I don't feel they deserve. I plan to start a petition to get them to stop using the Tiger, and maybe switch to something like My Little Pony.
I know what you mean! 🤣🙏
He have had a lot of rain lately we don't get any snow because when we get rain the temperature goes up.
The roads in my neck of the Kentucky woods are curvy and narrow too, not all, but the rural areas are pretty hilly and curvy. Yep, boxes, etc stuff that has fallen off trucks or wind blown from some place happens here too. but the most scary to me is the Amish buggies, love them, but so scary to round a bend and almost hit one. Well girls, I spend one time with each of my girls to teach them to drive, they scared the life out of me so I had to let their dad teach them or one of their older friends LOL. I've had my share of breakdowns on the road, flat tire, busted water hose, brake lines, fuel pumps going out and the alternator. scary stuff for sure especially in bad weather, or at night. This was lots of fun to watch. THanks for sharing.
Now, I’ve never seen a buggy in the road, I don’t think I would like it lol. Thanks for watching!
The wave and types of are so cool! I was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Currently I live in Kelowna, British Columbia Canada. It took a lot to get used to the ups n downs and turns of the mountains. Now in straight roads it just seems like it takes forever.
I’ve always wanted to visit British Columbia, thanks for watching!
It was 70 degrees in the DFW area TX today at 1:30 pm. By 3 pm it was it was in the 40's, 9:30 pm 20's.
Im from New York, And I first got my drivers license in oklahoma. On curvy narrow , farm equipment etc. Scarey then , now 43 yrs later . I can drive almost any kind of road lol
I am 2 hours from you in sc,SC, yes,everything you said is true!
I love the driving in the south videos. I think they are so popular because of the great chemistry y'all have together. Even though you are sisters y'all still have different personalities but are great together.
Thank you friend!
Yea we have all those waves and curves and stuff down here in Tennessee too
😊
Thank you both for making me laugh.
Great video I’ve got two daughters that I taught to drive outside the city Atlanta. They’re 30 years old now and what great memories just came to mind thanks for making my new year I love watching
Hey that’s great and driving in Atlanta is hard. I once drove right down through the middle of town. If you can drive in Atlanta you can drive anywhere!
I learned to drive in a cow pasture on the farm my grandad grew up on. I was barely big enough to see over the steering wheel of dads ole chevy. The weather here in Virginia has been crazy warm as well. Take care, stay safe n Happy New Year to you all!!
Hey that’s really cool! Thank you and happy new year!
Love these too.. also learned on a dirt road with dad then brother, “three on the tree” stick shift, then on the floor, proud to pass on my 16th bday, years of fun practicing, and the only kid in the family to do so, bragging rites. A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO YOU GALS
Happy new year! Daddy learned on a three on the tree stick shift! Those are fun!
Love the driving in the South videos. Love the old 4runner. I dont like warm weather, especially in January. But good news for us is that it's getting in the teens tonight and the highs all week are in the 30s and 40s which is how I like it in January. Great video.
Thank you! Katie is attached to that car, Lol! And wow! It will be like real January there!
Great video. It's just good entertainment driving along with you ladies. The waves here where we live there is a big change in culture. Use to drive down the road people sitting on porch would wave and every car you would meet would wave. Just not so much anymore. Hope you guys have a safe and healthy New Year 💗
Yeah, I agree that you don't see it like you used to.
Happy New Year, thanks for watching!
Katie, thanks for the lesson on what different waving gestures mean. We still wave here in central Texas. In fact, it is not at all uncommon when driving behind someone going slower than you want to go that the person you are following will pull over on the shoulder to allow you to pass. Of course, our roads are wider, flatter and straighter in most places than most roads in your area. I never had problems driving or riding on twisting roads in the NC/TN/VA mountains. (originally from Raleigh and spent much time in the mountains for work and pleasure; my Pa was born in Swain County). BTW: I drove in the mountains long before I40 was built.
I live in upstate South Carolina and most drivers spend more time in my lane than their own...it's like watching Russian dash cam videos.
Oh gosh!
I love these videos. You girls are a great inspiration to others. I can relate to all your videos my family lives in Burnsville NC. And the wave thing was hilarious to me cause I live in Ohio my family comes here and waves at people they usually get the Ohio wave which is the middle finger. Or dirty looks like what the heck.
I guess what I am trying to say is people in Appalachia are much different than people in the city. Love you girls keep up the great work
Oh goodness! Yes you can’t use the wave in Atlanta either, people don’t like it! Yes us Appalachian folks are a little different! Happy new year!
Ladies your stories today are delightfully entertaining as always. You asked about the weather here where I live in central Texas. Our weather is always one extreme or another. We had unseasonably warm temps last week for December but the wind blew like crazy which brings in dust storms from the west. Now we are in for a week of cold with the lows at night in low 20's, not much to you but the wind will make you change your mind about going outside. Already 33 F. on my porch at dusky dark forecast for 21 with high winds . Great show.
That’s insane! Happy new year!
I grew up on Long Island, NY. We bought our farm here in Ashe County NC in 2011. It was an absolute delight to be here and it reminds me very much of my childhood. The phrases, words and mannerisms here are very similar to Long Island back in the 60s & 70s. Everyone waves as they drive by, everyone has a big garden, puts up food, stops to chat. Round here in Ashe County most folks just do the 2 finger wave and the head bob. Folks pull over to pray if they encounter a funeral procession on the road. They flick their headlights if there is something to watch out for down the road.
I spent the first 58 years of my life on Long Island, and am so very glad to spend the rest of my life here. My soul needs the mountains and if I never left the boundaries of Ashe County again, I'd die happy.
🙏☺️
My older sister driving through the back roads from Walland to Townsend taking corners at 55-60 mph sometimes, I prayed the whole way!😂 Tn has their waves too, I love that , we always said the nod was the super cool people who couldn't be bothered with waving.😂😂 I was over 18 when i got my license and i got it because my boyfriend kept forgetting to pick me up from work 😂😂 Good times ! Y'all keep em coming 💯❤️
Hehe! Thank you so much and oh wow that would be scary for sure! Happy new year!
@@thepressleygirls Happy New Year 💯❤️
Miss Katie looks very cute with her hair up, love the stories and the soothing accent. I had a 1985 Silverado, drove it for 13 years. I failed my first driving test at 16, because the instructor said to backup until he said stop. So I backed up and stopped when he said...he said, you failed! I asked why? He said because I didn't turn to look behind me. I said that's what the outside mirrors are for sir. I had to come back again "30 miles away" I passed✨️
Thanks for watching, cool truck!
We still wave like that here In Tennessee! And there is always something in the road . Now that I’m getting older I wanna stop and investigate what it is ! Y’all stay safe on your side of the hill !
🙏❤️
Hi ladies I am in Central New Jersey on the coast yes it is warmer than usual I love it unfortunately it's also raining 55f at the moment
Preventative and predictive maintenance goes a long way in stopping those unexpected side of the road emergencies. Other than oil and filter changes I'm the worst at not properly maintaining my cars like I should, I guess because of the associated costs, but it's a pay me now or pay me later type thing. I'm hoping y'all have a car trouble free 2022 and safe driving out there!
When I was in high school we didn't have a driving class. Then the DMV had a twenty question test, which was easy. And the driving test was literally just going around the block. 😂 Well, technically it was two blocks. Went down two streets, turned left, then two more lefts and was back to the DMV. LOL
Katie's stories about all her car problems reminds me of one time years ago I was living in Indiana. I had taken a trip home to TN for a visit and got back to Indiana. Next day I went out to my car and I couldn't get it to turn or anything. Turns out my serpentine belt had snapped. Somehow I had made the long eight hour trip all the way back to Indiana with no problems, and the belt didn't break until it was in the garage.
I've seen a meme before about the various waves. Haha
God was certainly watching out for you, thanks for watching! ☺️
@@thepressleygirls Yes He was. So glad that I didn't get stuck out on the interstate somewhere.
Up here in Saskatchewan Canada it’s -38°C which converts to -36°F….. definitely no shorts here.
🥶
I'm in Northern Iowa. We got a little bit of snow today, but just a skiff. It is currently 0 degrees right now, but it will be -7 degrees F by morning. I learned to drive in Driver's Ed, which was offered through my high school. I was born and raised in Mississippi, so I learned to drive on those old back roads. 😂 Happy New Year!!
Wow that’s cold! Happy new year!
You two are a Trip enjoy watching y'all if you do know what a Trip is ask your Mom and Dad 😂 and enjoy y'all music Happy New Year to you both and family
You need to give your daddy an award for all that road service. lol
We were driving from Miami to Naples (across the state of Florida) and had our alternator go out.
Thank goodness the battery was fully charged when we started. We ended up going about 100miles on that charged battery. I got a reworked alternator the next day ... back when working on cars was a LOT easier. It was quite a simple job at that time. These days I look under the hood and want to yell. There is no room at all.
Katie obviously got over the problem of not being able to do anything but hold onto the wheel and focus. I had to laugh watching he talk with that right hand while driving.
That’s scary, glad that battery held up!
@@thepressleygirls Ditto. Crossing the Everglades in the dark is scary enough on a normal day. lol
When I was in high school we lived in the country and my dad would let me take the car to my girlfriends house which was about twenty minutes away through more country...he was very trusting and I had no license yet...I never got in trouble. When I took drivers training I knew how to drive...the instructor just often told me to slow down...haha. I'm 75 now...
Hey that’s cool! Thank you! Happy new year!
Roads in Kansas and Nebraska: flat and very wide, mostly two-lane. Obstacles: loose cows, deer, turkeys, owls, badgers, raccoons, tumbleweeds, tornados, and hail. :) We do the same waves and nod on the Plains, too! Interesting.
I'm liking your shirt Katie 👍🙂
I was a late bloomer. I didn’t learn how to drive until I was 25 years. I had to take the driving exam twice. That was back in 1992. Those Toyota 4Runners will last just about forever when taken care with regular maintenance 👩🔧…
They will last forever!
I just moved, 5 months ago, from Fresno, CA to Tellico Plains, TN. Hoping to have snow for my first winter here, but it is currently 72 degrees at 9:30 am.
I love the waves we southerners have whether we know you or not, and the nods if you're not quick enough to wave! I don't do I-40! I don't drive on it and I don't ride with anyone else on it! It's an accident waiting to happen! If I can't get there without going on 40 I just don't go! Lucky I don't live in the mountains or I'd be staying home a lot lol!
Yes, I hate 40! Usually we go through Canton. Thanks for watching!
I had kin who lived up in the Andrews area. I absolutely hated the road to get there. One lane carved into the side of a mountain. If you came on another car one of you had to back up down a curvy road until you came to an area wide enough to pass. I remember seeing a car in the tree tops, and this was in the days before cell phones so who knows how long you would have to wait for help if that happened.
Morning! Ladies! I learned to drive in a field. I was 11 grandpa put me in a c60 grand truck he put it in first gear and I would follow the combine!
That’s so cool!
Does in Haywood county also.
I feel blessed that my granddad was a good ole boy who used to load me and my cousins into his truck and would drive sometimes randomly around on the country roads. One day when I was a kid we see a house up on a bluff with an old lady sitting on the porch. My granddad stopped the truck, went up to her said hello and had a conversation with her, very Southern. When he came back he told me that the woman he talked to was 'Mama Walton' (actually Mrs. Hamner) featured in the TV series The Waltons, she was older at this point and looked a lot like Grandma Walton. The site is now the Walton's Mountain Museum in Schuyler (Sky-ler) Virginia.
Oh wow, that’s so cool, I love the Waltons!
Ha ha girls, when I drove for my drink test. I ended up, in a trailer park, in someone’s drive way! He said miss, you had some turns, where you went left over right. 🤪 Oh dear heavens, I sure did not pass, 😙 Such a deal, learning to drive. 😅 Thank you for sharing your sweet stories. 🚙🚙
I'm getting ready to go hike around the Pisgah. Looks like we'll have snow chances around the area this coming week.
Yes! I love the Driving in the South videos! They make me feel like a good friend to ride with you. This was a fun conversation. When I was 15 and a half, I drove with a coach and two sisters (17 and 18] whose dad had never let them sit behind the wheel. 😳Yes...it was kind of funny. My Mom took me down to the church beforehand and made me practice...I was so thankful for that when it was time to go with Coach. Thanks for sharing your memories with us! Fun! ❤️🙏🏻 Jane from SC
That’s so funny! Thank you friend! God bless!
Sunday's high is in the low 70s, cold front moving through and the low is in high 30s to low 40s. Weather here turns around faster than a Hwy-221 switchback! It almost never stays cold long enough to matter. I miss snow... Happy New Year to two wonderful and safe drivers! 🥳
I'm in my 50s & I've never had a driving ticket, etc. I had my 1st accident a couple of months ago, when someone hit me (Thank God, I was totally ok.). Here in Minnesota, we have snow right now, but it's not too bad where I live. But I absolutely HATE driving in the winter here. I'm extra careful, as one should be. Thanks to my Papa's help in practice driving & my parents' advice in general, I got my license. Happy New Year! God Bless!! 🥳🤙
So glad you weren’t hurt in the wreck!
@@thepressleygirls 😊 Thanks. Me, too. It was a minor one, but was still very stressful.
Really enjoyed this!
I live in southeastern coastal Virginia in the agricultural region -in the middle of 5 different farm families who have been here for many many generations.
I am a transplant but from 30 yrs ago and raised my family here.
The friendly acknowledgment of pulling over a narrow road to let the neighbor pass or the gianormous combine 😆 makes me happy to be part of the friendly sign language 🥰
Y’all nailed the ‘waives’ to neighbors, friends, acquaintances-absolutely 😀 really enjoyed this video. Happy New Year 🎆
I love your driving videos. I love the old 85 Chevy. We recently became part of the Toyota fam but with a sedan 😕
People say I talk like y’all do!
I have a 06 Explorer that is an “all-leather, sport package” like Katie said. 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve put a lot of money into her and love her like you love yours.
I'm in Northwest IN. We wore short sleeves on Christmas day and today it's 35 and a storm is blowing in. Could get 4-8 inches of snow or more by tomorrow. And we could see -1 degrees by tomorrow.
WOOT WOOT!
I learned to drive in a tobacco field in Goldsboro, N.C. In a Volkswagen bug. No traffic there, just us and the tobacco worms. LOL
Corie, you have about 60 more days living with Katie. Y'all need to make a DiD video every day between now and March 12!
Thanks for the video (and all the others) you've done.🤠
We have about three inches of snow....not strange in Michigan...its about 28*...
I love these driving videos
So driving.. Take a trip to Los Angeles and NY rent a car see what you think of the drivers. Here in Wilmington NC this fall and beginning winter it's been warmer than previous yrs.
Driving in the south, sound like driving in the north woods back road, you learn very quickly to slow down and take your time, I learn to drive on my uncle farm on his tractor in the hay fields that was fun. You girls like to know the weather here in Wisconsin it in the middle teens some ice and snow on the road, I got 18f and today on new year day there are people that go out to the lake Michigan and jump in the water to start the new year off right I think but it to cold for me. Corie and Katie maybe now you got driving the cars down pack found yourself a nice motorcycle to drive those country road, I think you all will enjoy doing that and you girls will look very cool like real biker babe. Take care god bless.
This first day of 2022 it’s cold 🥶 - 30 ish but it is warming up to -2 tomorrow 😀 then back in to the deep freeze for a few weeks. Enjoy your warm weather
Happy new year girls.
If yuns ladies can drive Mecca pike from Etowah TN to Tellico pains in the winter that takes some skill and even then you could very well have a wreck hopefully not but its happend to people on that stretch of two lane terror.. that road got more hilly curves than a slinky got spirals
Good morning! Happy New Year! Enjoyed another episode of driving in the south as always!! I’m that person that pretty much has to drive everywhere we go because I get car sick real easy to. Oh yea know all about those waves y’all talked about, I wave at SO MANY people I don’t even know and Robbie Lynn, s like who was that I’m like I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️😂👍🏻 I won’t even talk about SPEEDING TICKETS!!! GOD Bless Y’all. 😇🙏🏻
Thanks for watching friend, glad we’re not the only ones who wave at everyone! 😂🙏☺️💕
@@thepressleygirls lol trust me, you’re not! 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Happy New Year! I loved hearing your driving stories. I never knew about the waving. That was interesting! I started driving, when I was out of high school. My first car was red 1973 Rally Sport Camaro. It was a cop magnet. LOL! I got a few speeding tickets, but thankfully mo points
on my license.
Hey that’s awesome!! Katie loves camaros. And yikes, I could see it being a cop magnet!
In Texas you have to parallel park, if you touch a pole or the curb you fail and have to be within 18 inches of the curb. If you pass that then you go drive through a low traffic area with three left and three right turns
Man y’all got the wave explaining right! Couldnt have explained it better!
Come to NJ. Curvey roads are the least of your problems.
I Agee I do not drive that good at night. I failed my driving test once. I think most girls do. Don’t feel bad I got two tickets in one stop, yes interstate 40 is a great place for a ticket.
A BREAK DOWN ON BACK ROADS IN THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS ANYWHERE IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE HEARD LOTS OF STORIES ABOUT THOSE TYPES OF SITUATIONS.
This video reminds me of my growing up I lived in the Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain area. They still use those hand signals.
Unfortunately my new year has starded of bad. My girlfriend and i just lost everything in a house fire... but we are safe. Everything else can be replaced... i sure hope 2022 gets better. Way better... you girls have a wonderfully blessed new year... god bless.
Michael, I am so sorry to hear that! We will be praying for you guys and please let us know if there is anything we can do. God bless and keep you guys! ❤️
@@thepressleygirls thank yall so much. The biggest thing id ask for is prayers. Good lord willing, everything will fall into place. Yall take care...
I'M ABOUT 35 MILES SOUTH OF SANDUSKY OHIO, SANDUSKY OHIO IS ON LAKE ERIE. CHILLY AN RAINY IN THE 30s. NO SNOW HERE USUALLY THERE IS ON NEW YEARS DAY.
Here in Houston it's currently 75 degrees, but not for long! We've got a cold front coming that's going to drop us into the 30's!
Very nice. I am Jessica and I live in the south, and I always drive barefoot because it is more comfortable. You should try driving barefoot it will be much more comfortable.
lol i'm still working my way thru some of your older videos. this one brings back so many memories of my childhood and teens lol.
Miss Katie you had me laughing girl about not passing no matter what, I’m exactly the same way!!
Try a VW coming down off a mountain and you do feel sick. The vacuum and build up in your ears. Lol.
IN THE APPALACHIANS IT'S REALLY NOT SAFE TO BE OUT TRAVELING ON BACK ROADS AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY LATE AT NIGHT. KEEP A CELL PHONE LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT ROUTE YOU ARE TAKING ESPECIALLY FAMILY. WOMEN ESPECIALLY KEEP UP WITH EACH OTHER AT ALL TIMES IT'S A BIG WORLD OUT THERE AND NOT ALL PEOPLE NICE.
Hi from Arkansas!
Hello Arkansas!
I’m from the hills and hollers in Kentucky so I sure do understand the roads and the waves but your explanation of two fingers and a thumb means “hey, hey you and your momma and them” had me laughing my behind off.
🙏☺️🤣
You did mention pot holes. I live near Nashville Tn. And the pot holes are terrible.
I was born in NC and proud of it! Didn’t get y’alls license until 18??? That’s too late lol
