Alternate Clothes While Driving?

[Melissa_59]

Does anyone else carry guy-mode "backup clothes" (like sweatpants, socks, etc) while driving, just in case you get a flat tire or have some other major car trouble? I thought about that one night and realized that in my current outfit (tight jean skirt, very nice blouse, etc) that it would really be a mess to try to change a tire on a car. Doubtless I could probably do it, but I think I'd wreck everything I was wearing, since when I have to do that in guy mode, I wreck everything I'm wearing.

Your chances of having a flat tire:

1. Are inversely proportional to the amount of air in your spare
2. Are directly proportional to the amount of luggage in your trunk
3. Rises to the cubed power with instantaneous rainfall
4. Are dead solid certain if you're wearing white clothing!

I used to carry an "emergency bag" but now only carry it if I am going a long distance by myself. Getting all that makeup and nail polish off would be a major hassle with baby wipes and no running water. I pretty much rely on the concept of WWAGGD? Yep, AAA card and cell phone.

[AllieSF]

Yes, out of habit I have a backup pair of male slacks, shirt, shoes and socks, and I go out all the time.

[ArleneRaquel]

I don't believe that I've carried male cloths as a backup when I was driving, I don't drive any more.

[kimdl93]

Not a chance. I go out without a net!

[RADER]

I only go out under dressed; about the only thing would be if I am wearing a bra,
and would it be noticed upon close inspection.

Nope, If I get a flat I'll change it en femme, or wait for someone to change it for me! :)

[Kate Simmons]

Heck no Hon. When I go out en femme, I go all the way. I would rely on AAA as was mentioned or some heroic nice guy to come to my rescue being the damsel in distress. It's been mentioned on here by various gals that that is exactly what happened. There are true Knights still out there even without the armor.:battingeyelashes::)

[Lori B]

I keep a bag ,,but I also always have my older pair of womens jeans,a older blouse and a pair of flats too...

I can't help but giggle at this for many reasons, but one of them is that I used to fight heavy weapons in the SCA...

i would just change the tire or maybe bring light coveralls if i had the problem of fixing any thing coveralls are great they just zip up over your existing clothes then just unzip afterward take gloves off and good to go :)

[Jackiefl]

I have never carried a bag or emeg. kit. One cannot remove gel nails or gel polish without a dremmel tool.(lol) I think thats what AAA membership is for,besides i always carry my cell phone. If by chance anything else happens accident or medical trip to hospital i'll pull my big girl panties up and deal with it like my wife always says.

[Cassi3]

I've never carried a "guy mode" bag. As someone once told me, that's what Roadside Assistance is for...

[Barbara Ella]

Have been out only three times. No man bag for backup. If i go out as a woman, i assume all actions and happenstances as a woman, and will have to deal with them as a woman. good or bad.

Kudos to not hiding out in boy mode when things get tough, but WTGGWD is Whatever she can do by herself. I only call AMA (our version) if it's something I can't fix myself (admittedly pretty much everything, because I am not mechanical!) I second the coveralls AND add a tarp.

Well, my tongue was firmly in cheek with that one. If the car is dead, AAA/AMA is the viable option in either mode. If it's just a flat tire I wouldn't waste time waiting for the tow truck to arrive. I can change a tire just fine in a skirt, thankyouverymuch, and I wouldn't want to let a little thing like that cut into my time being out and about! :)

This has made me think a bit about things, though, and a pair of disposable nitrile gloves will be going into the car to keep my hands clean if I do have to change out a tire!

[YorkshireRose]

Well I have never been out dressed, but I have often thought about driving the 7.5 Tonne truck I drive en femme, now that would be interesting!

[sissystephanie]

I am very much like Kim! I have been driving while dressed enfemme for longer than some of you have been alive! Never once have I ever carried drab clothes to change into in the event of a car problem. I wear gloves when I change a tire and don't even get my hands dirty!! Of course at the age I am now, I don't change a tire. I just call AAA and let them do it!

[Cheryl T]

I carried a bag with his clothes when I first began going out, but I gave that up.
The car has a pair of overalls in it, so if something happened like a flat I could just slip into that and change it.
If I was in the rain, snow, etc, then I'll just call AAA and sit and wait.

[Michelle55]

I do have a bag of guy clothes usually when out enfemme. It just lets me feel a little more confortable.
Generally, when wearing dress clothes whether enfemme or drab I have coveralls, boots, and gloves.

[NathalieX66]

Let me put it this way:
If I'm going out local, there's no need for an emergency bag.
If I'm dressed casual, then this is the real me, and I don't feel like hiding this aspect of me anymore.
But if/or when I'm dolled up in a nice outfit, such as a cocktail dress & heels, I'll pack some extra clothes like jeans & sneakers if the place is far away.

[Veronnie2]

I have not had it happen to me, but if it did, I would be that helpless female waiting for road service. Veronnie2

[carhill2mn]

Yes, I frequently have some backup guy clothes in my car. There have been occasions when they came in handy.

[katie_barns]

I always have a gym bag with old jeans and T-shirt with me. Not because I am in enfemme; even in male mode I keep old clothes with me. I don't want to change a tire in a suit.

[STACY B]

Do what my wife would do ,,Call her she would just call me if were together we just handle it .

[DeeJayGram]

I travel as a guy, and get girly once at my destination. If its for a date with another guy, i explain that to him.

[Raina G]

I never have male clothing with me, and I love to go out driving dressed.

[Angel64]

I do. I am a chicken. :-S

[Stephanie47]

The times I have gone out, it has been when dark. Yes, I'm not passable. I do carry a change of male clothing. It is one thing to have to change a tire. All that calls for is pulling on pants,socks and shoes and a sweat shirt. What happens if the car totally clunks out? I only drive locally so it means a long walk home, because I am not prepared psychologically to call a tow truck and sit in the cab of the truck in a dress and heels. Of course, at night the car is probably going to be towed to my driveway. There goes the clanking of the tie down chains on the metal truck bed. The back up signal goes beep-beep-beep. The nosy neighbors may see me for the first time in dress and heels. Ending up en femme in the emergency room due to a serious car accident is one thing, unforeseen and unprepared. Car problems are something else.

[cathie pantyhose]

I would change on my long drive home while living in Atlanta. It would take me an hour+ to get home most days so I'd go to work male and drive home fem....well at least from the waist down. Always had pantyhose and panties on under clothes and change in to a skirt and heels in the car on the way home. One time I had to stop at a pay toll and missed the bucket. Opened the car door to pick up the qtrs, put my left leg out with my pantyhosed leg in 4" pumps. Got a smile from the lady in the toll booth but I was not happy I forgot what I was wearing. I guess that speaks to my personal comfort with dressing.

[Rebecca W.]

I keep some coveralls in my car as I do not want to destroy my guy or girl clothes changing a tire. Better a clean than a dirty girl or maybe that would be nice, a dirty girl.:o Maybe a spare pair of pantyhose would suffice.
I am going to make a "spare" attire bag for Rebecca:)

[Jenniferathome]

No, never. If I have a problem, I am in girl mode.

[Nicole Brown]

Hmmm, OK, let's see. Are we just trying to look like a lady, experience the feeling of being a lady or are we just being ourselves. I fall into all three categories, as I am just being the woman that I am. Would you expect any other woman to carry a bag of men's clothing to change into if she experienced car problems? I think not, so why would someone who is trying to look like, emulate or be a woman to carry such a parcel???
I carried such a parcel only once, and then realized the uselessness of it. When out as Nicole I am a woman and if I should experience a problem I would react and handle it in exactly the same fashion that any other woman would. I would grab my cell phone and call AAA or the police for help.

[PretzelGirl]

I got pretty tired of dragging a bag out every time I went. I think it is in the cellar somewhere gathering lots of dust. Both last year and this year I drove to Las Vegas and back with not a stitch of male clothing. My wife doesn't throw a bag of clothes in the car just in case so why should I?
