    Kansas City isn't that bad, I grew up in the traffic there. The highways have been improved a lot but everyone still thinks they're Dale Earnheart. I loathe Chicago, I like NYC though. Adventure! I drove through Manhatten for fun (through both tunnels up 39th, I think it was.) You talk about some pissed off cab drivers, lol.

    I'm going to Chicago, already ran 2 or 3 4-wheelers off on the shoulder. Why don't these idiots put yield signs on the on ramps to the freeway? It's like these stupid people expect me to fly right up in the sky to let them into "their" lane. Well, sorry. Cars on the left, cars in front, cars behind, and this truck don't fly. Welcome to the shoulder, enjoy your stay.

    Everyone's hit on high traffic areas.

    Personally I don't like that I can't make it through Dayton with more than a half-cup of coffee in the holder.

    Of those I've only done 20 through Augusta. I don't like any of the thin areas especially when big trucks have to pass on the left when I'm already 5 or 10 over.

    Oh crap though I can't remember where I was a week ago, but they had it SOO thin with the barricades there wasn't but a couple inches on both sides. It came up so quick I couldn't even believe they would do this. Plus it had a little curve to it. I had to yell "ok I'm awake" on the cb. " I got a "yeah no ####" answer.

    I will definitely take those lane narrows signs seriously after that.
