F that! When I drove down to Mexico years ago I came back up through San Diego and Los Angels. That was some bullshit traffic you got out there. Tried getting off the highway to find Hollywood and got lost as crap in some shady neighborhoods. I can say I been there and done that. Ain't ever going back! Chicago is next on my list of worst places to be in traffic.

more so what's the lifespan on those batteries they have in those cars and what about all the resources it costs to make them.

most people what keep a car for 5yrs at the most. figure the cost of the car and then think about how much you would spend on gas in the current car, probably won't come close to the cost of one of those hybrid or electrics cars.

yeah not so much on the city. i'll stick to country living. i kinda like having a yard and room to do stuff that you couldn't in the city.

out here it's mostly small creatures like squirrels,chipmunks and crap like that don't see too many deer in the daytime although i almost tagged a few when i was working 2nd shift.

Thanks for the breakdown. I had heard about "Carmageddon" coming soon, but was unable to find a damn news article that actually explained it. So, it's closed for three days to destroy a bridge? Is the bridge a part of the road that is closing? So it wont only be a three day closure, but a few months long endeavor??

no the bridge is an overpass. If the interstate stayed closed longer than those days, It'll be the L.A. Riots all over again. :burn: :burn:
