10- Driving down any given road and, though it looks like it's paved with asphalt, you feel transported back in time to the days of cobblestone.
9- Kamikaze pedestrians
8-Dodging bikers, who are dodging the kamikaze pedestrians, while also dodging parked car doors.
7-Being the person behind the parked car door, trying to get out of the car while dodging the bikers--who are dodging your car door and the other cars (that are dodging the kamikaze pedestrians).
6-Hitting potholes so large that you flatten your back tire.
5-Having a texting-happy SUV driver run you off the road.
4-Dodging a car that missed its exit in the freeway tunnel and that has stopped and is blocking two lanes sideways and is also reversing towards you.
3-Driving down what appears to be a one lane road, with a car on your left and a car on your right--all going the same direction.
2-Road construction that becomes part of the permanent architecture and where you never actually witness people working on it (but you may see a police officer standing next to it directing traffic).
1-Riding in a cab, that cuts off a Mack truck that is about to plow into where you are sitting, while the cab driver speaks a language that is not remotely similar to anything you recognize on a cell phone, who then looks over his shoulder at the shocked and terrified look on your face and says, in english, but with an accent of the language you do not recognize: "scared you didn't I! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

And you have experienced ALL of this since you moved to Boston? Yikes! Maybe we will store our car when we come to visit and use the mass transit systems there.
Wow...and I thought Utah was bad.
OH WOW! Those are some WILD experiences and all of this in less than a year? We miss you!
I love your new picture!
Those are great! I remember thinking the drivers out east were crazy, and people complain about Utah drivers!
