move to the DC area, then you can complain about traffic, stupid drivers, and rubbernecking.
In the two years I've been here, I've heard about more flipped cars than in the previous 26 years of my life. The crazy thing is, these cars only typically going <30 mph. How the f do you flip a car at those speed?!?

They have to slow down to get a closer look. Then all of the cars behind them have to slow down. That always happens.

Crazy snowbirds...they take their practices to South Florida as well.
Up and down the East Coast, I guess.
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

Yup, exactly. Come to Arizona and then talk to me about bad drivers. A bunch of people have gotten mad and honked at me.........why.........for coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. God forbid

Cops are always hidding until some little ole lady pays her toll and the gate didn't get out of her way. You'd thought by the cops response she was a terrorist!

Rubber-neckers!
Here in Chi-town Gawkers can cause you to be 45min late for work (as was the case a couple weeks ago) 
At least in Michigan people have a concept of "passing lane" on the highways.. In IL its every A-hole for them self regardless of how many lanes or how fast/slow you are going.
Yeah you wish! thse fuggin numb nuts will sit in the fast lane for miles, even if there is no one in the slow lane! If you go to pass them in the right lane they will either speed up or give you dirty looks.
GAH i need a death ray on the svt.
