Need for Speed
Yeah, everybody knows traffic is bad. But sometimes it’s outright embarrassing.
Especially if you spent $60-90K on your car with the promise of speed, agility, and driver engagement. And have this taunting you the whole traffic jam.

that feeling you get when riding through a traffic jam and on of those radar speed detectors is on the side of the road and says youre exceeding the limit is the best
For the most part, most common production cars will not reach “get your money worths speed”.
The only point of having a higher end sports car is if you live in the country, or use it for road trips or day trips far and away. All the prowess is pointless for city driving. I had a bmw, it was old and not in great shape, but what a car! However, to try drive it in city traffic was a nightmare, it just couldn’t perform.
In the Vancouver area, there have been gangs of rich people in porches speeding dangerously up and down wild coastal highways for fun. Because they are rich, they just pay the fines. This is happening everywhere. I live in a rural area, so once outside the gridlock of town, it’s open season for speeding. Car commercials promise that you will speed up and down mountain vistas, the only car on the road. And yet, traffic is usually busy, so you can’t go that fast. It still seems to take a long time to drive into town, cycling is not actually that much longer!
Hey i love your drawings and i want to print some of your drawings on white T-Shirts
I’m glad you enjoy the blog, but you do not have permission to use or print my artwork. Thanks.
My best experience in passing a jam was last November as cars lined up for kilometers on ice covered roads. I rode my bicycle (with studded tires) along the empty opposite lane and felt awesome! 😉
