Mark-
Unfortunately, the driving skills and antics that I see on a daily basis
during my 200 miles a day indicate that the NYC metro and Philadelphia metro
areas are no better than Toronto.

When I hit the lotto, I'll buy myself a supercharged 502 powered Hummer H1
with Brembos, runflats, crash bars, roll cage, harnesses, HANS, etc. When
someone does something stupid like that, I'll just ignore them and see what
happens when they crash into a 7000lb. tank.
I'll make sure it's painted chrome yellow with tons of metalflake in the
paint so they can't say that they couldn't see me.
