Finally, I've got a car for whom traffic jams don't mean a thing. I've got a car that revells in slow, stop-and-go traffic. But instead, we have to take this high-speed, low MPG, express car pool lane? . . . I don't think so.
In Huntsville, I've started enjoying the access and utility roads. The speeds are sedate, the drivers 'unrushed' and my MPG is shooting out the roof. Hop on the expressway? . . . No thanks!
I've got satellite radio, a calm attitude and slow speeds are no terror. Living South of the Mason Dixon Line, time hold no terrors . . . except in NASCAR and high-school football.
