It blows my mind talking to my grandpa. His first question is how was traffic and the next is how did I get there. Then he'll say well next time take the 5 for 3.9 miles, then hop on 78 until you see the 420 then do a triple lane change to the 69 then you're home. And then I'm like sure thing grandpa I'll remember that for sure, as I'm tapping the home button on google maps lol.

"How did you get here?"

"I dunno, I just did what my GPS said!"

"I followed the blue line until it told me to stop"

My uncle was visiting a few months ago from overseas and I was driving him somewhere in my home town, and he off-handedly mentioned a different route he'd taken to get there in the 1960s lol

Without even knowing where those roads are I see you are on the West Coast.

Is this that "Californians" SNL sketch?
