No, no.......I mean the sitting in the driveway part. We too enjoy books on tape or similar when we are driving long distances.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I was just thinking of how when we often traveled long distances it was to see a relative or friend. I was envisioning us sitting in the car in the driveway to listen to the end of the book while everyone was at the door waiting to greet us wondering what the heck we were doing....lol
