Why it sucks driving in Texas

[oldtimer3]

Not in the towns that line US59.

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

US59 isn't that bad honestly.

[231FUN]

funny, my intake temps havent hit over 100* on average.

Having a snail in the engine compartment contributes to that!

Why it rules driving in Texas.



Going with the flow of traffic at 92mph. And still getting passed.

True that. I've been that speed and faster thru Atlanta hauling the car and trailer. Wife still doesn't get it.

[Explicit_Spade]

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like there is a low mount turbo connected to that intake.

Oh, thats a scan gauge II.

You know we have grand prix car club meets in here in Houston right? You should come out

69/75 and I-35 around Dallas is like that with speed. I have had to push 90 on several occasions to keep up with the flow, pushed further on occasions with friends in other cars playing with weekend racers. Half the time the cops don't even get on the highway anymore, there's no point unless there is a wreck... which happens ALOT.

I guess you haven't been here recently...construction everywhere, wrecks everywhere...sucks everywhere.

... since when is there NOT construction everywhere? the Metroplex is always expanding and building. Doesn't slow people down. I was down just a few weeks ago and as always, got past Melissa and Anna and put cruise to 85 and just went with traffic. Granted there are alot of times where traffic doesn't go quite that smooth, but when it is flowing, its flowing fast.

US75/69 does flow pretty quickly going southbound.

[Rico]

Yea, I guess government stimulus has affected all major cities.

I've been here since 04 and there is now at least 3X the amount of major road work than I ever saw.

So many businesses are closing their doors and people are staying home due to the traffic. It's not good.

Some people that work near the airport literally can't get to work. They turn around and go back home.

Seems like our government is "stimulating" unemployment here in DFW.

No I didnt. Where abouts?

[Bob Padilla]

I'm just glad they upped The speed limit to 75mph when I'm heading south of Houston to go to work.

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

it's not 75mph south of houston, lol..

East past Winnie yes, West past Sealy, yes.

Hrm, apparently US59 is 75mph now too.

Why can't US287 get some lovin' by the DOT folk?

[Bob Padilla]

Hey nix ,I just stated I drive it to work so.......
