    You think that's bad? Try the Merrit Parkway in New York/Connecticut.

    Most of the "onramps" are at 90 degrees to the highway, and they have stop signs at the end. After the stop sign, you have absolutely no room to accelerate before you get on the highway - instead, you have to wait at the end of the onramp until there is a gap in traffic, and then floor it and hope for the best.

    Take a look at this

    EDIT: Also, I should add that the average speed on the Merrit ranges from 70-80 in the morning and evenings, to 80-90 in the day and at night.

    Actually, I got my FIRST ticket ever on our new LS430 (eight day old car) on the way to Dallas. West Palm City or something. 82 in a 65 + No fron LP (no crap.. new car?)

    My aunt following me also got the same speeding ticket and expired registration sticker. Ugh. Sometimes traffic cops tick me off.

    I totally agree with you on the SL cops. I was driving the X5 once with my buddy Jeff because we had to get all these things for a physics project, and a trooper pulled us over because he said we weren't wearing seatbelts. Since we were, he just gave me a warning of having an illegal rear license plate frame. It was a dealer frame, and I still have it on, because it's perfectly fine. :x

    You know the new law that says if you get a flat, you have to change it in like four minutes?
    Don't you need a F1 team to do it that fast? :)
