    It backs up pretty good during rush hour in Round Rock.

    Sped up once. I was Running speed limit with someone bumper humping me. Came over a hill. Got pulled over by a bear running towards me. Told him why i sped up. He told me I shoulda slid over on the shoulder and let ‘em pass. Lol.

    I knew it would get like that eventually. I used to go out there and do high speed runs on my bike when it was newly opened. Hardly any traffic at all.

    When I’ve run 130 usually the only backups I encounter are either near the Tesla plant or airport traffic.

    Of course the comedy relief comes when I watch the 4 wheelers literally try to run each other over just to make an exit. And the crazy part is that they’re flying at 80,90,100 miles per hour, by the time they make the exit I have caught up with them!!

    130 is a breeze both ways. Just came back up today. I'm a company driver and don't have to pay that toll.

    A LOT of the very first Texans didn't speak English. They spoke German, Czech, Polish, and Spanish mostly. Are you saying the people who BUILT TEXAS way before the current crop of ####### aren't Texans?
