Backseat driver

Night driving pics, with the longer exposure for the effect of motion, are difficult shots to take. I've tried a couple of times (some of which are on film and not yet linkable), with mixed results. I kind of like this one, because it gives a little more perspective taken from the back seat. It also helped that it was Christmastime, so there are more lights as people decorate their homes for the holidays.

I know I'm not the first to use this type of photo for this challenge, but I'm not sure how many difficult shots I have digitally (even out of 4,000). I have several other difficult shots that I haven't yet pulled off -- star trails, a bone-jarring home-plate collision, lightning -- but I'll keep trying.
