I hated the traffic in Austin -- and mind you, I drive every day in the South Florida megaplex sprawl that covers three counties and includes numerous old people peeping over the steering wheel, and occasionally driving into convenience stores and canals.

Those Austin drivers in their big pick-ups come bearing down at you at high speeds, and they seem to be incredibly offended by people who dare to slow down for right and left turns!

I knew one woman, who'd moved from northern California, who pulled over onto the shoulder one day and *cried*!

But you made it! The traffic will become second nature!
