    Snow, potheads, hippies, ski bums who think that their all wheel drive Subaru Outback means they can run 75 on snow.

    Did I mention snow?

    I don't like Denver, so much traffic and they all drive slow. Plus, it's under constant construction. I've just never liked the city, one of my least favorites.

    My company likes to charge me extra tolls..kills me.
    Denver is where the terminal and main freight is beer...cant be worse than driving the east,and getting penalized with tolls.
    Hopefully I can stay south?
    Much snow in nevada or texas?
    Thanks.

    Don't forget, everyone thinks John Elway and Peyton Manning are gods. Did someone say snow? Definitely snow. Coors beer sucks. If you are fat and smoke you will be winded just going from the couch to the fridge during a bronco's game so arrange your apt accordingly!
     
    Steel Dragon and mountaingote Thank this.

    That's a good list no doubt but I think you'll add Denver to it as well, some cities just don't....flow well. Hard to describe.

    Denver wasn't planned very well, so traffic sucks all the time. Beer loads suck. Broncos and Rockies suck. The mayor sucks. The air sucks. The governor sucks. Colorado sucks. It's an endless suckfest...

    I wish they would run 75 on snow, most of the time they are going 45 and causing a dangerous bottle neck.

    I go to Denver twice a week and completely understand what you're saying.
    Also it seems like there's no standard rush hour. Traffic just builds up at completely random times of the day/night and you're left sitting in it wondering where in the hell all these people are going
     
    Big Don Thanks this.
