    Depending on the time of day, Dallas, Chicago, Austin, Crossing the GW, and Lagos, Nigeria.

    That is true. We think we have it hard but there are parts of the world that have real problems.

    These guys cry all day about Chicago I disagree... Depending on where your going the drama can be avoided... 294 is a start... Avoid 290 as much as possible... Don't run 90/94 through city depending on time of day...

    Edit 294 can help avoid the nonsense...

    You're right. Even during the present drought in cities like Bombay and Lagos, cars splash along through raw sewage thats pumped directly into the streets.
    To us, we feel so sorry for those people, but to them it's perfectly normal and acceptable as that stuff oozes between their toes and dirty flip flops.

    Oh yeah, I am from there and I hate it. Cars go 80, trucks go 60 and nobody let's you to change the lane. I had people pass me on the shoulder, just so they don't have to slow down

    Lol saw a documentary about a truck driver in south america somewhere. Paid like $80 for a 2 week trip ahead of time, loaded his straight truck to the gills, plus he had passengers riding on top. Trip turned out to take like 2 months because of all the times he or trucks in front of him got stuck in ruts on dirt roads. I kid you not. It was crazy. Really made me appreciate only being stuck in traffic for an hour or so.

    Edit: Still looking for that one about SA, but I've seen this one too and it's good.



    Actually, it might have been this one I saw. From the Congo.

    And if it's really bad, running 80 out to 39 works, too!

    LA, Bay Area, DC, NY/NJ, Houston.
