[QUOTE="jpk, post: 14713182, member: 30412"] I have lived in the Seattle area a long time and I'm a car guy. I have also lived in the Southwest. There are a lot of good car guys in the Seattle area and Mustangs are a big part of it. There is also a good exotic car scene up here. Many of them will say "hey, Seattle's got some good driving roads! It's nice here!" Baloney. It sucks compared to what you are probably used to in Texas. I lived in Oklahoma which is pretty similar to Texas so I can compare Seattle to Texas from experience. I got so fed up with the bad Seattle traffic, bad road conditions, and inability to have fun in my Mustang Cobra I actually moved it to Las Vegas so I could enjoy it year round even though I don't get to drive it every day anymore. The roads being wet is just part of it. The traffic is very bad, the roads are very narrow and hilly with poor visibility, and when traffic is moving the drivers go very slow and are unaware of their surroundings. Only a fool would drive aggressively around here on a regular basis. Usually you see those fools in a ditch on Saturday. I've seen a Ford GT in a ditch. Several Porsches. And those that don't wreck their car get taken in by the police, who are incredibly aggressive about traffic enforcement. Some will say if you drive east past the Cascades or head north towards Canada there are good roads. Rubbish. Driving two hours just to drive is stupid. Ultimately people end up going to the track about an hour outside of town to get their fix because there is just no other place to drive safely. BUT, there are good car people here, and while the driving conditions stink, there are plenty of other good things about the area. The Mustang community is large and there are a lot of nice cars here. You just don't get to drive them the way you can in the southwest. I prefer to go to car meets in Seattle and do my driving in Nevada. [/QUOTE]
