I saw this and realized......5 states, 5 red states!

Links within the article also showed that aside from Michigan, they have the most corrupt states and the least peaceful states.

Funny stuff.

Apparently. But then again I have to hope that the studies that came up with these 'facts' were a little more recent than that stellar incident.

Yeah, something that happened YEARS ago and has NOTHING to do with the information of this thread. Would be like saying Oklahoma is a good place for 'civil political discussions' and than bring up 5/19/1995.....

Your not a good driver until your a Masshole! Try getting into Logan during rush hour from 93 in the morning.....

I've got to say commuting to Boston was more educational than a defensive driving course.

If you can drive in Boston, you can drive anywhere.

As someone who has driven both places, Boston is an intro to miami.

America's Worst Drivers [by city]

No. 1 Miami

Spending too much time checking their hair in the rearview mirror? These Floridians ranked near the top for their good looks, fashion savvy, and cocktail scene. But all that eye candy can get distracting. Locals didn’t impress voters with their street smarts: Miami ranked as the city with the worst drivers.

See all the America's Favorite Cities survey results!

ETA: Oh, but if you meant to navigate though, ya, Boston is why I bought a GPS.

Status: offline 		Rome has NOTHING on Boston. Drivers in Boston are very confident and skilled drivers (could easy ace NASCAR drivers on a road track). There are two 'Right of Way' rules that are active in Boston:

A) Old Car beats new car
B) Big vehicle beats small vehicle

When in doubt, it comes down to which driver is more kamikaze verse timid. Horns mean NOTHING to us Bastonians. That to us, says "Hi, I'm new in Boston, and I'm timid....even though my car is big and old...".

Please note I said tougher, not dumber.

Case in point - I once gave a ride home to a colleague who lived on the south shore from an IBM site just north of the city. It was rush hour, but traffic was still moving at a pretty scary speed. A guy in a rusty looking VW beetle gets cut off by another in one of those big old chevy Impalas. Between the Boston Garden on ramp and the rte 3 cut-off in Quincy, the beetle caught up with and hit the Impala in the driver's door more than 30 times. The piece de resistance was when the VW guy realized there was a mass trooper back behind the glut of cars we were part of desperately trying to follow the whole crazy scene (NOBODY RUBBERNECKS LIKE IN BOSTON) and took one final shot causing the Impala to turn sideways on the SE Expressway blocking the entire southbound side and then driving like a bat out of hell.
The Impala sat there blocking traffic and I could hear people over the that 'Wah Wah Let met through' cop siren shouting "That was fuckin wicked".
Yeah, compare that to fixing one's hair.
