A Phyco Public Service Announcement: Denver
Denver, how I hate driving there, especially in the business district, especially trying to get to broadway to get to the World Trade Center. Bleh. Anyway, my hatred got deeper yestderday, as well as my overall level of my week is going down the crapper (and it's only tuesday, give me a break!)
Tip 1: When going through downtown, add 20 miles to the speedlimit. You'll still be passed, but at least you won't have people shooting you with armor piercing automatic rocket launchers.
Tip 2: Make sure you have a car that allows you to mount a license plate to the front of the car as well, or those pesky meter maids will write you a $30 fine (or $60 if not paid in 20 days) for not having TWO license plates, one on the front and one on the back. In my defense, it was technically my sister's car, who the hell remembers to check if there is a plate on the front of the car before they take it out for a spin to a major city?
Tip 3: People will hate you, so don't bother smiling. If you frown, growl at passerbys, and flip everyone off. People will then assume you are a Denver native and will leave you alone.
Tip 4: Good luck trying to parall park, people will ride your ass preventing you from backing up to park. Do yourself a favor, put your car in reverse and floor it. Make sure you have a bullet proof car and your doors are locked though, as the person behind you may be a not so very friendly Denver native.
Tip 5: Pray
Tip 6: If you are like me, you will have to park about a mile or two AWAY from your destination, so be prepared to walk for about 30 minutes or so to arrive where you need to be, and be prepared to get ran over by Denver's mass transit system or a typical Native driving a Hummer2, or some other expensive $100,000 car. Remember kids, they don't care, they got good lawyers.
Tip 7: Stay away from Denver
Tip 8: Going 50 over the posted speed limit isn't fast enough. Go faster.
Tip 9: Cops don't care, unless you arn't a Denver native, then they will let the 50 cars going 100 MPH in a 55 zone pass and nab you for going 56.
Tip 10: Pray

Yes, about 4 - 5 million thank you very much. Of course, that's nothing compared to, say, Florida, Georgia, and California.Ozone wrote:People actually live in Colorado?

Yeah, don't mind me, I'll go back to sleeping now.

Are you kidding Ozone? The frontrange is loaded with people.
And bah, Denver traffic ain't nothing. I thought they went too slow for my tastes.
I thought the Springs was worse actually. Though I did have a bit of trouble in south Denver once. More my own fault though for not knowing the roads well enough.

Yes, actually I was kidding. I am and have been well aware that a decent amount of people live in Colorado.GhaleonOne wrote:Are you kidding Ozone? The frontrange is loaded with people.

I actually like Chicago, I was just out there recently, I'll be moving relatively close to there in a little less than half a year. Besides, you haven't lived until you've driven down a highway in Miami during rush hour.LuNaRtIc wrote:Enigma wrote:Lol, driving in Denver sounds fun...and not as bad as Detroit.
Driving in Detroit scares me.
Not as nearly as much as driving in Chicago though.

My hometown, where the weak are killed and eaten.. anyway, I-4 in Central Florida is really fun to drive on especially when you get near the attractions' area where there is tourists from all over the world that are used to driving their own way.. fun fun! Voted one of the worst and dealiest freeways, I'm so proud!
