View Full Version : What I saw standing at the roadside....

today while I waited for my new rear tyres to be mounted.

This was standing at the side of the road for about 10 minutes... and I let the mundane and boring go by - this just gives an idea of the automotive diversity that is US road traffic - It still amazes me 10 years after I got here. But note how FEW motorcycles there are.

This is a medium duty 6-lane arterial road that basically links residential and commercial areas. Traffic pretty much never stops - 7 x 24... ;)

Oh yeah, and to give our Euro-brothers and sisters an idea of what constitues a "short commute/trip" - many folks around here will travel about 50 miles a day - just up and down this section of road... :lol:

I hate that Merc. IMO it's one of the uggliest Mercs ever made.

Eh...lots of cars there. Just one question: is travelling upwards of 50 miles per day a good thing that you should be proud of? I think not! (unless you drive a Ferrari :)
