    I'm the same way on 183 - speed limit = 65... so naturally I'm goin 75 and everybody else on the road = 60. And when it rains here in Austin, forget even driving! just park your car and start walking - some dumbass has "hydroplaned" on all THREE drops of water that hit the pavement and shut down IH35. If you're gonna shut down the freeway, do it with flare (like the burning chocolate truck a couple of days ago).

    And where do these emails originate from? there's one about Austin somewhere around the web... I haven't seen it since I moved here 4 years ago though....

    Don't bother, the weather should be back up to the 80's by tuesday, from what I hear.... which fits in pretty well, I think. My goal for the year is to be comfortable outside in shorts and a tank top for christmas day.

    There's only one song for the fast lane....

    Move! (crash) Get out the way, get out the way (whistle, get out the way!
    Move! (Shriek) Get out the way, get out the way (whistle, get out the way!


    It's like the Houston freeway anthem.:p

    I am very disturbed by this, and I am right with you bigtexxx...if this year's Super Bowl is the Titans vs. the Cowboys, I may have to fly to Jamaica for Super Bowl week. I will refuse to watch a single down of the Super Bowl if this is the matchup, and we Houstonians will never hear the end of the ironic/moronic musings of the sports reporting talking heads on this one. Yuk!

    there is going to be another decade of construction on I-10. I saw some of the blueprints of what they are going to attempt. I think they are going to make the lanes wider. It's on the internet somewhere

    I thought it went, "All directions start with 'go down Westheimer'"?

    That reminds me of the Seinfeld where Kramer adopted the stretch of highway and he was nice enough to widen the lanes by using paint remover on the white stripes.

    I was considering this recently too. Other scenarios:

    * If Dallas gets there with some non-Tennessee AFC team, it'd be fun to just root for the AFC.

    * However, if Tennessee end up here with some non-Dallas NFC team, it would still feel like a slap in the face to Houston, even if we could all root against the Titans.

    All of you Titans haters... I am willing to purchase 1 ticket if Tennessee gets to the Super Bowl. If you somehow get your hands on one, contact me.

    Not a big If. An if.

    No that's a big if.

    That's what an if is! There are no small ifs and big ifs.

    No, there are degress of ifs.

    No, there are only ifs! Ask anyone!


    And no, it's not a "big if" :p

    while i don't get #1, and get completely pissed at anyone who leaves the H off (it's there for a reason moron), the rest is friggin hilarious. our daily nascar, lol. and the yellow light comment is priceless. it also applies if your the first person after it turns red in a left turn lane. i expect no less than 2 people to run a left turn red and am only happy if 3 do it.


    and about driving on the freeways in austin. this is my senior year at UT, but the first i've had my car up here, and my god now i realize how crazy we are. i have to keep checking the speedometer to see if i'm really just going 10 over b/c i'm flying by people. i just want everyone to get going 75 or get the hell out of my way. houston knows what it's doing when it comes to driving.

    LOL! :D I know what you mean man. They should rename it the Slowpac Expressway. Oh and the traffic in Austin is WAY worse in rush hour than Houston.
