Default 11 ******* hours!!!!!!

That is how long it took me to drive from Kemah to Kingwood via 146 to I10, and on top of that it took me 4 hours to drive 5 miles through Tomball, this is ******* ridiculous.

Try 9 hours from houston to college station. and almost 24 hours to dallas! People are pushing their cars and walking around on i45. I think it will get better though cause houston was supposed to make every lane on 45 northbound as of 9am this mornin.

Dont I know, i have seen some **** on this trip. I watched two guys walk down the center of 45 and **** on peoples cars back behind me, it was crazy. Saw 7 old people have heart attacks all at the same time, the long hours on the road must have been too much for them. Much more stuff, will make for good stories in the future if i dont drown. Also saw a bum on a bike get side swiped by a shuttle bus and the bus never attempted to even stop, he just kept going. The bum got up, starred at his hands for a good 20 mins then got back on his jacked up bike and rode off. Saw a hot girl in a 99 vert aniv. T/A Pace car, i really wanted to talk to her but my lane was moving too fast.
