I've never driven in San Francisco, Philadelphia, or Chicago, and only once in Boston, a couple of weeks ago when we were going to meet a friend in the south end before heading back to Logan, on our return from Maine.

I'm generally fine about not having a car in cities where there are other options.

LA is one city I drive in all the time. My client there is not in an area where public transit is really a good option, and LA isn't laid out in a manner that makes it easy to rely on transit or cabs. It's generally no worse than driving in many other major cities in the US, and unlike cities like Atlanta, drives in LA tend to slow down some, pay more attention, and don't have cell phones glued to their ear while driving (granted, that's against state law in California). I'd actually rather drive in LA most days than Atlanta. I see far less crazy s**t on the highway there than I do here.

If you have driven in Miami, you can drive almost ANYWHERE.

I would be leery of driving in Delhi, but I have friends that will drive me there :D

I've driven in most every largish city east of Kansas City, with the exception of MSP and MKE.

You didn't have to drive the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on a windy day in Driver's Ed. End of story.

Easter in Madrid. Everybody goes out of town, so they route all but one lane of the freeways contra-wise. I, of course, had to go INTO town from the 'burbs and was a salmon swimming upstream.

They drive so crazy that the English bookies take bets on the death count over the holiday. :rolleyes:

Fremont and San Jose aren't exactly San Francisco. ;)

And there's always Caltrain to get down there.

But around the city itself, I'd prefer not to have to deal with a car and finding parking. It's really no faster, it's a lot more expensive, and it's just more stress.

as the driver, or the teacher? As the teach......:eek::eek::eek: extreme AHHHH!!!

I can handle stick shift. I can't handle complete reversage of everything I've known since 16 years old. ;) You are a better person than me. GL!! :)

Boston is one city where I wouldn't attempt driving as a visitor without a GPS navigation unit. We had one when we were there a few weeks ago and wouldn't have made it on our short jaunt into the central part of the city without it.

I am not hanging in the city proper, so I need a car. going to Napa tomorrow :)

Tell me about it, I had a GPS thankfully. but some of those roads around the airport are underground or in so much concrete around them you get no signal! I had to drop someone off at MHT then to BOS to drop off someone else. Because they were a cheapskate and did not want to fly to MHT, and they were on a flight to WAS. There was bad weather and I made it to WAS about the same time as them....(using WAs as don't know details of dca or iad)

She's a cutie. But don't you have dogs?

Driving in Phillly can be interesting. Narrow streets and driving like crazy. Two lanes of traffic but no traffic lines and tourist messing things up by driving down the middle of the road. They get the message when a cab squeezes by them with an inch to spear.

To mess up everyones weekend in NJ and NY. Weatherboy has this posted.

We had to stop by the coach's apartment everyday of driver's ed so he could pick up his lunch from his G/F. He also cranked the radio and randomly applied the foot brake on his side of the car.

I had an encounter with a lady in a bikini and a mailman on my driving test. (Who among you can say that?) Also, the guy giving the test said, "This would be an appropriate time to use the horn." So I did.

Oh, and I passed.

MBM3 is a happy camper! Checked my upcoming reward stay at the Conrad HKG and noticed that we were already upgraded to a King Executive Peak View Room. Yeah, the harbor view would be great, but I am pumped to get the executive privileges for six nights.

Now lets see if Conrad TYO pasts the test - we are combining one paid night, miles from my account and miles from my wife's account for a three night stay. Heck, it confuses me!

This post is useless without pictures. :p

G'Night box.....flying SDF-MEM-DCA in the AM.
