in front of me, then I'm forced to).

I was actually being facetious in my last post. I usually don't have the same traffic issues though as many in the metro DC/Baltimore area.

I work usually 9/9:30 to 7 or 8pm, so I usually miss most of the traffic and don't typically have those issues The left lane is usually clear or has people going faster than I am, other lanes, traffic is sparse. On the way home, I-70 heading from Baltimore is usually quite dead and is a pleasant drive.

I do have the ocassional speed burst on the hwy and spirited driving on the back road between my house and I-70 though, just because I can and the turbo is there.

On the occassions when I have to travel the bad traffic roads, beltway, I-95, I-270(the absolute worst during rush hours) you just gotta keep on keeping on (words from joe dirt) and go with it. People on my a**, people appently not really concerned if they get anywhere, drivers that are always weaving, cutting peple off are just realities to deal with - its not the end of the world. Life goes on.
