A juvenile but time-honored midwestern tradition in which one underage person packs as many of said underage person's friends into their vehicle as possible. With a 30-rack in the back. (Perhaps 2 in more capacious vehicles :) The vehicle is then driven out into the sticks where there are only gravel and dirt roads. It is put into drive, and every reasonable attempt is then made to touch neither the brake nor the accelerator for the next several hours, until the beer is gone. On modern vehicles that don't creep forward in Drive, set the cruise control for no more than 5mph. Only the steering wheel is then used, as the driver (who is HOPEFULLY sober) makes random turns. No attempt is made to remember what turns were made or where the vehicle is headed. When the beer is gone, occupants attempt to figure out just where the hell they are. This is probably less interesting now that GPS is in every phone. But hopefully, you're also well out of cell service area so you can experience it as so many generations have before you :)
