Hey Just noticed Deadman your probably the only person on this forum that lives near me. Kudos to fellow New York people!!!!
One of the CIC staff members lives less than 20 miles from Albany (and just moved away from right next to the city itself). Like LOAF said, that area seems to have a fairly high Wing Commander fan density. I can never wrap my mind around how close all those Northeastern cities and states are to each other. Portland and Vancouver are a good 150 miles from me, and there's no other comparable city for 750-1000 miles in any direction.
I lost track of this thread...
I can get to NYC from Boston in about 3, 3.5 hours tops. The culture changes so quickly up here - mere miles can separate an entire way of life and thought.
... and then there's me that has to drive six hours to get to anywhere of a significant size, and even then it's only a fraction of somewhere like Vancouver, or Seattle. Of BCs roughly 4.4 million people more than 3.4 million of them are in Vancouver/ Fraser Valley/ Vancouver Island/ Okanagan (and 2.2 million of those are in Vancouver). The rest of us are scattered about the other 850,000 square kilometers (aproximate... I actually calculated it, of a total of 924,815.43 SQ KM) of the province.
I've noticed a lot of New Englanders lately. Eltee I live up the road from you in Woburn.
Likewise, we all aren't too far from each other. I live down in Attleboro, and I've met a few others around this area as well... oddly most New Englander Wingnuts seem to be centralized in Ma.
In short...what kinda jet engin (or radar detector) do you have on your car!? I need to got one.
hmm - while I acknowledge that I tend to drive at high rates of speed (superchargers help...) , I find that the time I experience is pretty constant. Departing Boston, I take 90 to 84 to 684 to 287 to 87. The real trick for me during the week is to avoid rush hour (although it's really felt the worst only in 3 locations - Boston to Worcester, Hartford, and whichever bridge I use for the finale- GW or the Tappan Zee.)
My record as it stands now is 2hr and 39 minutes. I really should have been arrested that day - but hey, a bet's a bet, right?
BTW, visual scanning is key! Don't rely too heavily on radar detectors - they will make you lazy!!!
Boston is an amazing, wonderful city. Its sole flaw is that people from Boston live there.

Absolutely correct. I mean, who doesn't want their car flipped and ignited when that local sports team wins??
That's how we roll.
