Road-Trip Bingo is gold: squares like “caravan convoy,” “emu sign,” and “rogue thong on the shoulder.” Or attempt Lyric Swap, where every noun becomes a car part—bonus points for sneaking in “differential.” If all else fails, pitch a podcast in 60 seconds; if it sounds brilliant, someone write it down before the next servo.
