by my visiting parents. You CT folks keep an eye out for a speeding black A6 with tinted windows. I warned them about turbo warmup/cooldown, I hope they listen.

I think they must ticket for passing on the left in CT...
Went through CT on 84 twice in the last 48 hours. I'm always amazed at the level of disorganization on CT highways. NY is Germany in comparison and Mass. doesn't look half bad.

I will NEVER do that again, as Mirror said, it was a fuster cluck! It was total anarchy on the ....
<center><img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/kcphipps/DSCN1246.jpg"></center><p>roads, complete lawlessness, people going through red lights for 10 seconds after they turned red, people cutting each other off, driving over curbs, sidewalks, etc. Where is the courtesy and politeness? I did see a plethora of nice audis, can't even remember them all! Got passed by a sweet silver A4 ultrasport going about 90mph on 128, followed shortly thereafter by a nice red B7 S4 with blacked out windows. Saw a pimped out silver VW Golf with homemade LED strips above the fogs, looked stupid to me. I gotta give credit to you guys that live in the Boston area, I couldn't take the traffic, the roads, all the farked up people! It was the day after Christmas, so I should have expected it, but what happened to the economy, recession, etc, everywhere was packed!! And why, on one of the busiest days of the year, is there only ONE lane open to get a Mass Pike ticket getting on from the Natick mall? The traffic was backed up for miles just to get on the Pike! Makes the EZ Pass look like the thing to have.

BTW, my dad said the A6 was the nicest combo of sport/luxury/comfort he's ever driven! Doesn't ...
handle like his S2000, but liked the high speed highway cruising to CT and back, even on snows.

I was going 69 mph in MA, when the road was clear, and got passed like I was standing still!
I now see what you guys mean about the left lane slowpokes, makes you have to pass on the right! I also saw numerous idiots in Hyundais and Kias weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds like F1 drivers. Its amazing more people don't die on those roads.

The massive backups created by cash tolls are actually intentional
They've cut back on open cash tolls in an attempt to make EZPass look more desirable. Of course, they've cut back so much that the backups they create are often over a mile long and impact EZ Pass customers as well.
