I know it's totally boring to complain about drivers and compare how drivers in X city are worse/better than Y city, etc. etc. BUT I just have to say, for a town that is supposed to be as laid-back as Austin, all of that hippie love is thrown out the window once these people climb into their cars. Never before (and I've lived in three other states) have I witnessed the level of vindictiveness and hostility between drivers that I have here -- people get pissed off if they are incovenienced in the slightest way! Plus I accumulated more door dings on my car within the first six months of living here than in five years of living in Seattle. Are people more self-centered in the South? An over-generalization to be sure, but it's fun to over-generalize, isn't it? I never witnessed someone actually throwing trash out of the window of a moving car until I moved here. I promise I'll report on what I like about Austin too...later.
