Quote:Not bad. There's the rush hours typical of any large city, but overall it moves well. Our biggest problem is the near absolute ignorance of what the stalk poking out of the left side of the steering column is used for.

As for me, I drive a sedate 3 miles to work through two traffic lights. My vehicle barely has time to get up to operating temperature before I arrive. *yawnnn, scratch, scratch*

  

Quote:The area I was complaining about is congested anyway.  But there is also construction going on for about a 6 miles stretch so it enhances the experience greatly.  

 

Really it's not all that bad, comparatively, to me as I lived near Philly until I was 39.

 

On a side note:  I 'll be out in Alameda in two weeks.

I don't handle traffic very well. I wouldn't even attempt to drive in a place like Philly. I also avoid LA at all costs.


When I head to SF I like to drive to Fremont, ditch the car and get on the BART as soon as possible. If I had my way I'd Amtrak the whole thing actually, but certain parties are against that for some reason.
