    I've done and hate number 5. Let's see if we can get the list filled.

    buh, god...ural living has some benefits: not finding your city interstate on a worse traffic jams list. :D (Except Friday afternoon at the Walmart can be a real parking lot jam!) lol...

    I have got number 2 covered, glad I don't have to go that way often. When I do have to head in to Honolulu I just leave early before the traffic starts. By leaving early I usually have time to find breakfast someplace good. Not happy we have traffic bad enough to rank at number 2 but it is good to be noticed. I knew our traffic could be bad I figured there were places way worse.

    Aloha,

    Drive #6 everyday but if I get on the road before 630AM it's no problem there. It's MOPAC that gets my MPG up thanks to the stop-n-go traffic...

    Neither of my Prii will ever see downtown Boston unless it's Mass Pike thru the Williams tunnel to pick up someone at Logan Airport.

    Any other time we go to Boston, we leave the car in the Alewife parking garage and take the T.

    I commuted to Burlington, MA down RT 2/495/3 for many years. I had to be very careful about how much coffee I drank before I left the house.:dance:

    Of course, now I'd leave early, take the back roads and pulse and glide my way to 60 MPG.

    Long commutes are what satellite radio is for.

    If anyone is familiar with downtown Baltimore, is there a place to Park and Ride (with luggage); (take a cab or other transit) into the Camden Yards area? I understand that downtown parking costs are pretty high and spaces limited.
