1. LOL-I love it

Boston is my favorite American city-except I will NEVER drive there again. Is being whacked-out behind the wheel congenital up there? I was literally shaking and in tears trying to find my way to my motel in Malden years ago from so many close calls. I think the natives saw my out-of-state license plate and said BWAAAAAAA.

3. I'm with you!

I went to visit family there this summer and I thought Cjhicago drivers were barracudas on wheels; next to Bostonians, they're wussies! :P

4. Driving is a contact sport in Boston

hence the highest car insurance rated in the nation. I have been labeled a Boston driver by my out of town friends. Until I drove them around and they realized I'm actually a polite driver.

When I go to Paris or Rome, I have no trouble driving. Their lack of courtesy and road rules is similar to the city I grew up in. ;-)

5. Bostonians take 'no fear driving' to a new level.
