the (driving) look

[jlat]

hello people; What's up with people I see driving with there left arm straight out to the steering wheel and all leaning to the right side of the car. When did that all start?
Now please if you drive a turbo Buick don't do that. I think those people look like fools.

That's been going on since the 60's...........it's called "The Detroit Lean"............the oldtimers will know what I'm talking about.

hello; I'am an old guy and I think it's a gangsta look they saw on a video or something. I've never seen it so much of it untill the last few years. Just like the drivers that sit so leaned back you can barely see there heads never mind them seeing the roard.

I drive like that because its comfortable ... I like my right elbow on the rest, and I have the most control of the wheel with my hand at the 12o'clock point.

I dont lay my seat back though, lol ---

I think what you're talking about it different than just leaning on the armrest and leaning. It's the wannabe gangsters. I know what you're talking about.
