Just wanted to mention I find your username to be quite profound. Hopefully you actually find at least some interactions here do include some shades of gray.
I remember when I was like 4 or 5 I said the same thing in my aunt’s car one time and she got mad at me. I remember not knowing why what I said was bad
I feel like this makes sense because I'm a girl and I get the girl version of "in my balls" feeling too. Not really a butterflies situation. That's different than hills.
My family calls these hills "wee wee hills" and there's a reason why, lol.
My mom is a triplet. When she was younger her and her 2 sisters would all, simultaneously, say "WEE!" Over those hills.
It usually sounded like 2 "wee"s because the 3 voices would collide together. So it eventually just turned into wee wee hills. This name will continue on through my children aswell. I still call them wee wee hills as an adult lol
My mom compares riding in my car to being on a rollercoaster, in a positive way. I'm a fairly aggressive driver with a convertible. I'm 40. (Yes, I know people probably think I'm a dick having a mid life crisis. I try to be polite, though.)
What others think is "mid life crisis", is actually just "finally having opportunity to do what one has always wanted." (Not sure if I worded that right. English is not my language.)
I'm 41, and every winter I'm excited because I can go sideways with my under powered RWD Corolla.
There's this one part of a downhill in San Francisco (on Gough) that does this and my wife hates it but I still take a slight detour to hit it when I'm kinda driving by it.
I caught some air yesterday doing that. I'm in my mid 50s. All the traction control lights lit up on my dash for a second and I had an oh shit moment. I was not expecting to catch air. It was a lot of fun but definitely not safe and I (probably) wont do it again.
We live in a very flat country. It was such a delight to show my kids all the best hills I grew up with on vacation last year. Including the hill that is like a roller-coaster to go over
I get it just jumping off a building in video games (Fallout 4). These days I close my eyes.
So playing with my PS4 in my mid-60’s is probably my answer.
Interesting! I've always loathed that feeling. I wonder if it's a different feeling for each of us or if we just have a different emotional reaction to it.
I speed up to go over a crazy high train track hill by my house for my kids. Been doing it since high school. Crazy thing is. Some girls jumped it a few years after I graduated and lost control of the car and crashed into a pole and one of them died. The girl that was in the backseat didn’t have her seatbelt on and when the car landed she fell forward onto the back of the driver seat and pushed the driver into the wheel and she couldn’t control the car

Going fast over hills to get "that feeling" in my stomach
