I've been to Michigan and actually didn't find it to be that bad. But a week probably isn't long enough to get the full experience.
And I actually haven't lived in CT, but in the year and a half since I moved to NJ, I've driven through it a lot, as I visit friends and family in RI/MA/NH all the time.
The amazing thing about CT is that traffic will be at nearly a dead stop, then 5 minutes later you'll be doing 70, then you'll be back down to 10 mph a few minutes after that. In that time, the number of lanes doesn't change, and there are no busy exits getting on or off the highway. This will go on for miles and miles.. Speed up, slow down. Speed up, slow down. In CT, there is random traffic for seemingly no reason.
I'm convinced it's because no one drives in the lane they SHOULD be driving in.. Ever.

Driving in TX actually isn't that bad.. But yes, the drivers can be a little crazy. And it can be a little intimidating when there's a giant truck (everything's bigger in Texas!) flying up behind you, weaving in and out of lanes. However, at least they drive fast there.. From what I've seen, anyway.
