Finally had a nice weekend here in Atlanta so me and a couple of my friends with mustangs hit the mean streets of Ga. Really enjoyed going downtown and everyone showing love to the stangs. Wish the weather would stay consistent so we could do this every weekend. How was you guys weekend?

weekend was crap....rain...lots of it.

i live outside of chicago, my good wheels wont be going on for another month i think :notnice:

i would love to get out of this state because i loathe cold and winter and snow (although i do love snowboarding) but i do love summer here and downtown chicago and the cubs and the bears so much it would be hard to leave
 
since i guess i turned this into a north / south thing...im going to post some rules to driving, Chicago style

1. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same drivers to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels.

2. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Chicago driver never uses them. Use of them in Chicago may be illegal.

2a. If someone actually has their turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect.

3. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

4. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered "going with the flow."

5. The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.

7. Construction signs warn you about road closures immediately after you pass the last exit before the backup.

8. The new electronic traffic warning system signs are not there to provide useful information. They are only there, to make Chicago look high-tech and to distract you from seeing the State Police Radar car parked on the median.

9. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.

10. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and are apparently not enforceable during rush hour.

11. Just because you're in the passing lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that another Chicago driver, flashing his/her high-beams at you, doesn't think he/she can go faster in your spot.

12. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even if someone is just changing a tire.

13. Throwing litter on the roads adds variety to the landscape and gives Adopt-a-Highway Crews something to clean up.

14. It is assumed that State Police cars passing you at high speed, may be followed, in the event you need make up a few minutes in your travel.

15. Learn to swerve abruptly. Chicago is the home of high-speed slalom driving thanks to IDOT, which places pot-holes in various locations to test drivers' reflexes.

16. It's a tradition in Chicago, to honk your horn at those drivers who don't move the instant the traffic light Changes.

17. Seeking eye contact with another driver revokes your right of way, except in Chicago, where it may lead to a duel or playing chicken.

18. Never take a green light at face value. Always look right and left before proceeding. In Wisconsin, your allowed to stop and then decide which direction to turn.

19. Remember that the goal of every Chicago driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary.

20. Real Chicago female drivers can put on pantyhose, apply eye makeup and balance the checkbook at seventy-five miles per hour during a snowstorm in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

21. Real Chicago male drivers can remove pantyhose and a bra at seventy-five miles per hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic during daylight hours.

22. Heavy snow, ice, fog, and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously listed rules. These weather conditions are God's way of ensuring a natural selection process for body shops, junkyards, and new vehicle sales.

23. If your road map is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and buy a new one.

If you are in Naperville and your map is one day old, then it is already obsolete.

24. There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Chicago.
We all drive like that.

25. The morning rush hour is from 6 to 10.
The evening rush hour is from 3 to 7.
Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.
