I used to drive a Ford F700 with a 24' box in Boston, and our go-to move was to back down the one-way street so if we got caught we could claim we’d ‘missed the address.’ Most of the cops knew we were full of it and non e of them cared; I think they took pity on us for having to wheel a big-ass truck around that…

Super disappointed that wasn’t a red ‘95 Dodge Ram.

Manhattan car owner, yeah this checks out

Once you start heading north of the Adirondacks, the cop density skyrockets. With no real crime, they will pull you over for everything and anything they deem out of compliance. I’ve been stopped for 35% window tint, an aftermarket exhaust (had a resonator and sizeable muffler, which wasn’t actually all that loud),…

Also, fuck everybody who waits until the last second to get over into the I-94 EB exit from 394 at the Lowry Hill Tunnel even though you could see everybody patiently waiting since before Penn.

Something new I’ve noticed several times here in Pennsyltucky is when someone is in a turn-only lane, they’ll swing out into the straight-only lane before they make the turn like they’re driving a semi, even though they’re only in a pickup or SUV and have plenty of space to turn normally without hitting the curb. They…

Commuting home from Boston yesterday I had a Vermont plated car start flashing his high beams at me like crazy because I passed him on the right when he was doing 10mph under the limit with an open road in front of him. You’re a long way from home Toto!

Amen. 9 times out of 10, when another driver does something crazy, stupid or dangerous, it’s a Maryland plate. The only people worse are the diplomats.

Very true. When your streets were developed in 400 years ago based on whether an oxcart hauling indigo from the wharf would have to go over a hill or around it, you get some interesting outcomes.

I drove a cab in Boston for a few years, and one night I was trying to get to some pickup in Southie out by the beach in one of those warrens of one way streets. Ultimately I decided to just go the wrong way down one of them, and some pedestrian hollered “You’re going the wrong way!” and I hollered back “I know!”

As a born and raised NYC’er and now living in the Midwest...... driving out there is fucking exhilarating and how it should be done... carefully choreographed chaos, people use blinkers and follow the basic rules of the road for the want of not getting dead.... that is not how it works in the midwest. 

I live in Maryland. People in Maryland think that Maryland is the best thing ever. Best flag, best crabs, best seasoning, best drivers, best weather. Maryland people gaslight themselves.

New York City drivers are 100% predictably assholes.

given the average speed on 55 mph Rt 3 north is dual moded at 78mph and 5 mph, I’m not sure how anyone survives at 55 ever.

I’m amazed none of these dip shits have been shot at yet.

They just haven’t driven through the right parts of DC for that to happen.

Trader Joe’s has chocolate-covered versions of their peanut butter filled pretzels. They’re definitely a little dangerous. (No butterscotch on those, though.)

If he didn’t see it, he shouldn’t have a drivers license. If he did see it, he shouldn’t have a drivers license. 

All the nuts roll downhill.
