George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law

Atlanta's a lot bigger than Göteborg, Sweden, I think.

One of the first big cities I drove thru was  NYC  I had only driven a couple time on the highway before when my brother picked me up at the airport and wanted me to drive home because he had been drinking while waiting for me.  I drove from Newark NJ to Stamford Ct white knuckles all the way

No! No more pictures of the city!

the city is loud and horrible I was in the city of Victoria and it's crazy. It feels like the walls and the highways are going to eat me. They just cave in.
And it's so loud.

I agree, it looks insane, they are all on the wrong side of the road.

I visited the UK a couple of years ago and had to sit in the front in a taxi. I know, you aren't supposed to, but we were that many. I was a nervous wreck within a few minutes--everybody insisted on driving on the wrong side of the road.

Reminds me of what you have to do every few mins to stay alive when my grandfather is driving. What you have to do is look at the road all the time cos if he sees you looking at something else, he will also look to see what you are looking at.

So many near misses.

evidently you have never been up in the northeast, RI & MA, exspecially Boston have the worst drivers in the country.

problem in atlanta is they want to wreck so they can get out of their lease or car payments.

If I never see the cross bronx exspressway again in my life, it will be a big plus. I drove a trailer truck too long, can't stand urban traffic.

it's great here in vermont, 4 traffic lights in the county.
