• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

3 States Down maybe 4 is DC a state?

Eh. It's good for the circulation, keeps the heart rate up. :thumbup:

For 20 years I've been hoping D.C. would add to their license plates the motto, "D.C.- You can't get there from here."

Lanes that randomly end, roads that go nowhere, merges without merge lanes, traffic circles without signage, potholes, construction zones that literally last a decade, inexplicable traffic jams at all hours of the day and night, road closures, tourists, buses, more tourists, out-of-state drivers, out-of-country drivers, off-Earth drivers, tourists, VIP motorcades, parades, street fairs, marathons, tourists (did I mention tourists?).

Honestly, the only thing that phases me any more is the volume of traffic. And not even in DC so much-- it's always been bad there-- but the outlying areas. I know that Arlington will never allow it, but I-66 *desperately* needs to be widened inside the Beltway (and I-395 could use the HOT lanes), I'm sick and tired of being in jams BOTH ways on 66 at 11 am on a weekday.

That all said, for riding in Rolling Thunder, you're braver than I. Rolling along Constitution at 5 mph in sticky heat isn't my idea of a parade-- it's my commute. :joke:

I don't wanna hear complaints about tourist drivers until you've lived in Vegas.

So I guess singing a verse of "99 problems" wouldnt help either. I was listening to the Linkin Park + Jay-Zee 99 problems / points of authority.

I've never lived there, but I sure have spent my time there. Take that 24-hour traffic jam that is the Strip and make it 68.3 square miles big.

Oh, and your roads were designed in the 20th century by American engineers. Washington's were drawn up by a mad Frenchman 200+ years ago (100+ years before the automobile was invented).

Plus, let's be honest: how many tourists bother renting cars in Vegas versus just shuttling to the casinos? It's those crazy cab & limo drivers you got that are the REAL killers :joke:
 
I guess that I just got stuck in the seventies...

Oh yea, the time will come when they can more than hold there own. My oldest son is 10 years into the Navy, now he is a man. Used to I could wrestle him down and handle him (all in fun) now he is a "hand to hand" combat instructor, and a non-lethal weapons instructor and when he comes home he want to show me the latest moves he learnt. Let's just say that I'm too old for that now. (that's my excuse anyway). :coffee:
