Calling all people who drive...

More often than not when I am in a hurry I get stuck in a jam. It sucks to live in the urban jungle of California where traffic is a nuisance. How many times have I run into signals which turn red everytime I wanna pass it? Grrr...:mad:

Advice comes from all quarters as to the exact speed to drive. Some say drive slow and steady, others say drive fast. I own a Chevy Cavalier and drive pretty much steadily. But it doesnt help because more than often I turn up late at my destinations.:o Sometimes I wish my car could fly, like the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car.:p

What say, guys? What do you drive, and how fast do you manage in the city you live in?

I own a Suzuki Swift, and I am pretty comfortable driving around in the city I live in. It has nice wide roads and not much traffic, except on Sundays when its a holiday and all sorts of people flock to the markets for shopping. My speed is around the 35-40 kph mark, and I am a pretty confident driver.:)

I'm an angry driver. I go fast.

I have a Ford Explorer...And a Hearse. My town is very small in size, but over a 50,000 population. It takes upwards of 45-60 minutes to get through about a mile and a half of town at some times of the day.

Sucks very much.

I think those that strive for higher speeds in heavy populated areas are inevitably going to cause, or receive some grief.

My fun car is a 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi. Had it up to 112 mph on the local freeway here. Daily driver is a Chevy Trailblazer. Usually set the cruise to 75 on my way back and forth to work, which gets me door to door in 20-22 minutes for a 17.8 mile one-way drive.

I drive a Pontiac Gran Prix and usually go very fast no matter where I drive.I have this thing were I have to be the leader of the pack or I ain't happy, unless the person in front of me is going way faster than me.Which usually doesn't happen very often.

Uh, I say no. Though actually, I am thinking of selling it and buying some land. We'll see. The land I want isn't officially for sale so I keep pestering the owners to sell. Just asked them again after leaving them alone for the last 2 years.

I haven't driven in a long time. I gave it up when I moved to Seattle. Too much money. The bus, a taxi or my hooves get me where I need to go just fine.

The funny thing is, when I tell people I don't have a liscence, they automatically assume it's because of a DWI. I actually have a great driving record. Only one speeding ticket.
