Houston traffic isn't for the faint of heart. You can also forget about folks yielding when you exit a freeway to get onto the feeder road.

i flew to houston to buy my z28, the only time i have ever had to drive through houston and just south of it on the free way an 88 or so caddy had broken down and was just sitting in the 2nd lane of 4 (1 over from the right shoulder) a van that was about 3 car lengths infront of me completely nailed it at full speed, swung onto its side and flipped over. the caddy was 4 door but as we drove past it was completely smashed in half and the van was missing its two front wheels. as if traffic wasnt bad enough i had to drive paranoid all the way home
