SSS1365 - That is sooo true! I used to work in Fairfax and saw some of the craziest stuff. I had lots of fun pitting my driving skills against them - I learned to drive in New York City and spent several years living in Boston. For the most part they didn't know what hit 'em

(figuratively speaking, of course!)
The only place I refuse to drive (in the US) is Manhattan. I can handle the FDR Drive etc, but I flat out refuse to drive on the avenues/streets themselves. Leave it to the cabbies
