My commute to work is hell everyday. I-93 in Massachusetts straight into Boston. The route
would normally take me 25-30 minutes but with the rest of the sheep in their cars, its resembles
a flock being herded at 15-35 miles an hour and the best part is the frequent stops. This transforms 30 minutes into nearly 2 hours. But not for me. I follow the rest of the herd up the highway for about 11 exits until the commuter lane becomes the breakdown lane. This is my favorite stretch of the highway. Why you ask? Because I shoot right over the grooved shoulder of the pavement into what I have deemed "the freedom lane" I bomb down the breakdown lane doing about 65 (cause I know what Sammy was talkin about) and I pass all those other suckers.
People flash their beams at me, honk and sometimes try to get in front of me. Driving in the breakdown lane is illegal ya know, but why would someone get so mad? Because they're JEALOUS that I will get to work on time or home earlier. I have something to say to that - GROW SOME BALLS!! My pair has grown so big they sit shotgun like the guy with elephantitis of the nuts that they talked about in the Breakfast club. I drive in the freedom lane everyday, and have been for the last 4 months. Well today folks it happened. I got a ticket. $100 bucks. You may think that I have learned a lesson from all of this and you are right, I have. $100 is a small price to pay for hours upon hours of saved time.

So not only are you that bitch that thinks you are better than everyone else and uses that lane, but you're a lying bitch as well, who is going to try to cheat the system by pretending you had to go to the bathroom! You should be taken out back and shot...and then shot again. The world would be so much better off with less people like you!

"$412 a month...that's like 2 pairs of shoes. Damn."
for that much money the shoes better come packed in solid gold and include a woman to suck me off every night.

Kristen - Trust me I would go Geico (and save an extra 15%...the Gecko has brainwashed me...) but it is not offered in Massachusetts. It's high because I have had 5 car accidents and 3 speeding tickets. Oh well. I never said I was the best driver. They haven't yanked it away yet so I guess I'll keep paying for my insurance what most pay for RENT around here. Oh well. You reap what you sow they say. I just don't care. I can afford it so who cares? I'm sure it'll be back down to $100 in about oh I don't know 8 years? hahahaha.
And about the shoes,At $200 a pop they're either Jimmy Choo's or Coach's but not Manolo's! I can't afford manolo's and don't really like pointy toes anyway (sour grapes anyone?)Hee Hee

You pay $412 a MONTH for your insurance? Dang, I'm a crappy driver and I only pay $91 a month, full-coverage, per month. And since I pay for the whole year at once, I get a discount. Who do you have for insurance? Switch! I use Geico, maybe they can help you out.

That's really expensive insurance. Well, since you are being reamed, I withdraw my name-calling (until you do that when I'm around, which won't be anytime soon; different coasts and all).

Oh sam, lighten up...my insurance is already thru the roof, I just don't care.
I pay $412 a MONTH to insure my car And after this ticket it will probably be more. But not without a fight.I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm spending the taxpayers money to request a hearing and fight this ticket. I'm going to claim that "I really had to go to the bathroom and was getting off at the exit that was 15 feet away from where I got pulled over" Which I did for the sake of my planned argument and the statie saw me do it I even wiggled in my seat doing the pee dance to drive the point home. Ha Ha Ha
If you knew this highway you'd do it too. It's kinda funny...no?

Lafayette and Baton Rouge. I still have an aunt and uncle in Monroe (the lamest city I have ever, ever been to), but now that my grandparents are gone the rest of us are in Biloxi, Dallas, and L.A.

Hah! I hate the kind of person who does that shit, but I used to drive into Boston on the 93 when I lived in Quincy, and I have to say that it was pure unadultered evil. The weekend when they were openning part of the big dig, I think it took me about 1 1/2 hours for a drive that usually took 15 minutes.
+2 for Fucking Boston Traffic.

Our idea of traffic in rural Louisiana is 4 cars coming to a stop at a 4-way at the same time.
BUT
Didn't you learn in, say, kindergarten that you need to wait in lines? Kinda rude.
BUT
You said you have balls that occupy shotgun in your car.
SO
I'll forgive and forget.
