If you are ever out late at night driving home, you may be likely to see these 4 types of drivers on College Ave. Living in a College town, you may see these different community cruisers. Cruising is the act of driving a car or motorcycle aimlessly, usually with a group of friends on the main street of a town or city.

1.) Subaru Enthusiasts

We have all seen a group of Subaru drivers with their loud exhausts, racing up and down College Avenue at ungodly hours of the night. They will likely be bunched together, with after market spoiler, and a loud exhaust to make sure everyone is looking at them. Subaru drivers like Truck Drivers can also often be found in a parking lot with their hoods up looking at the upgrades that have been performed.

2.) Farm Boy Truck Driver

The other most common driver you will see late at night getting into trouble is the truck drivers. Often in their big jacked up trucks that was funded by their dad, and their trucks have never seen dirt before. This group can also be seen in parking lots with their hoods up checking out each others engines.

Now for the fastest cats on the street. Often times on College Avenue you will find a band of motorcyclists riding together. These groups are often formed on campus and they connect quickly with each other because they all have a passion for riding. Having one of these types of drivers pass you in the middle of night while gunning it, is likely to send goosebumps down your back because of the sheer speed and sound of the bike.

4.) The Party Goers

Now we have the students preparing for the party. If you are out early enough in the night, you will find the college kids heading to the party! Often packed into the back of trucks like mules, they carpool to the nearest house party. Luckily the party goers are smart enough to never carpool like this home because they are aware of how dangerous it can be.
