Is “sitting in a car talking for hours” actually a big thing in America?

I’ve talked to a few Americans on an anonymous video chat site recently and one thing I keep noticing is how casually people mention driving around at night with friends with no actual destination 😭Like getting food at midnight, sitting in parking lots talking for hours, stopping at gas stations for snacks, listening to music in the car, driving through quiet streets, or just hanging out inside someone’s car after a long day.The way people describe it makes it sound like such a normal part of growing up there.. so the whole “we just drove around for hours” culture feels very American to me. I’ve seen it in movies too but now I’m curious how common it actually is in real life.
