[DMCForum] Re: "New Orleans Fridge Run"

["Mike" <mcquinlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If anyone is ever driving through Orlando and needs a place to rest 
for a bit, feel free to stop by and take a look at my empty garage 
bay where a Delorean will hopefully sit one day.  I can also show 
you my Sunstar model.  Traffic is really not bad here compared to 
most cities.  From Palm Beach to Miami though I would say traffic is 
bad.

My company's main office is in the Boston area and you haven't seen 
bad roads until you've had the pleasure of driving through the "Big 
Dig".  At one point I was going up to Boston about once a month and 
each time I went there, I had to figure out how to get out of 
downtown Boston.  The roads were being reconfigured at an astounding 
pace.  Even the car rental companies couldn't keep up to date maps 
on hand.  Any road project that takes 10 years to complete cannot be 
a success.
