Re: My Scirocco is essentially trashed.

     Sounds like it spread from San Antonio. I forgot how many wrecks I'd 
seen when I lived there. Then there are the cars swept off the road into 
areas nothing can drive into 'cause some idiot ignored the flood marker. 

  Don't get me started with MD/DC drivers.....

 WOW, that sounds EXACTLY like Austin!
 
 
 I have lived in LA, SF, Austin and Houston, and of all those places
 Austin has the most infuriating drivers! The city is completely
 filled with what I like to call passive/aggressive drivers. These are
 the kind of drivers who are the first to slam on their brakes the
 second they see someone else's brake lights, or a puddle, or a wreck,
 or a cop, but also like to cut you off and tailgate any chance they
 get. What drives me crazy is that most of the drivers on the road
 here will never go above the speed limit, UNLESS someone is trying to
 pass them, and then they will exactly go as fast as is necessary to
 keep from being passed! The worst part is that these people have no
 practice driving fast, so they instantly become a huge risk to
 everyone around them, all in the name of not letting anyone in front
 of them. The greatest thing about Austin drivers is that they seem to
 think that left turn lanes and shoulders exist to let them pass other
 cars. I can't count how many times I have seen people come cruising
 down the shoulder at 50mph for a mile or so, just so they can cut in
 front of traffic at the first opening. I once even saw an amazing
 accident as two people drove down the left turn lane for four blocks
 at full speed, only to slam head on into each other! I can only guess
 that they both thought the other would "back down" and pull out of
 the turn lane. What I found most amazing was that there were no skid
 marks! Neither of them slammed on their brakes even as they slammed
 into each other.
