WTF?

I think H-Town is worse off than the Big D.... Dallas traffic at least f'king flows.... for the most part that is.



So you're in a sub ghetto of Dallas..... yeah, for some odd reason that has Oak Cliff written all over it.

Austin ought to be on the list.
I'm coughing and feeling a little congested myself.

When is the last time you drove through Dallas? Driving the outskirts isn't so bad, but inner city is fucking hell!

Of course, I come from a small city too. I had to relearn how to drive when I lived in DFW.

Ummm.
from 2000 to 2003 I made typically weeky trips up thru dallas. I rolled thru that bitch swangin' and bangin' and no body gave me no grief. Maybe it's just the parts you hit? I dunno....

Hard to say... they're always working on something but never really finishing anything.

Inner city where 35 & 30 meet....635...and Loop 12 is hell too, especially around 5pm. But this was in the late 90's. I left not long after they finished with the Tollway so that may have diverted traffic better.

When I rode through there a couple of years ago at 10pm on the bike....down I-20, up 360, then onto 185, it was alot busier than what I'm accustomed to. The cars wouldn't let me get my comfort space between them and made me a little nervous

that's pretty much any big city.... you gotta be agressive or get squished.

You have to be very confident in your brakes and reaction time... that's what you've gotta be
