Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

There is 2 roundabouts here in Chico. When I started to learn how to drive I hated roundabouts now I think they are alright

I still can't drive, but I never had problems understanding them. I love to watch people getting stuck in those, lol.

What an utterly rotten day at work today...

In the sticks was a term used more around upstate NY area...nice to hear that you use in in TN as well

Actually we moved from Colorado when I was young to Brookfield Ct. The term the sticks was used a lot there also. Guess I never lost my Northeastern slang, haha. Wicked, you guys, pop were all NE terms/words we all used there frequently.
my brother just recently retired and moved from Poughkeepsie to Colorado to join my 3 sisters who have been there since the early 80's.

I had a coworker who lived way upstate NY and commuted to Glens Falls for work and she would say that she lives in the sticks, that is where I picked that term up back in 2006!

Interesting video:

1) Impressed that there were no liquor stores on your route!
2) 99 would be impressed at how the traffic looked...if it was like this in downtown LA, he'd do cartwheels...

We don't have liquor stores here. You just go to a shop to buy it.

I do pass a few more known places when I get closer to home. I was pretty green with the recording software. I plan to try again.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

so do you drive on the right or wrong side of the road to many twists and turns I got confused

There is no right or wrong side.

You should be able to tell. My left turns are like your right turns and my right turns are like your left.

Also when I enter a motorway I enter from the left and pass people on the right.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

i also noticed that on the stop light it instead of going from red to green it goes read yellow then green. why is it?

It's European standard.

I actually prefer it. I think it's a bit safer.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Quite long commute but roads look quite nice

Ps: Dat Megane GT , Fiesta ST and Porsche 911 though

Thought you'd notice the cars.

I thought there would be something a bit more fancy around due to the nice weather.

That is so new to me! I know i would have a hard time adjusting if I were to drive in the UK.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

yup lots of turns lol I don't think ive seem that many roundabouts in my life

Lots of roundabouts here. I almost prefer then to lights.

I'll see if I can find the picture of the 'giant' roundabout.

I can see how it would be better. Instead of guessing when it will turn green like in the states, Europe gives you a cue that it's going to turn green

Didn't you ever watch Top Gear?

I thought I would have difficulty but I got used to it.

There's a bit more adjustment if you drive manual as the gearbox is on the left.

I think roundabouts would be harder to put here in Northern California since roundabouts are for smaller cars. I can't see a lifted truck or a semi driving around a roundabout.

Yeah I watch top gear USA haha and a bit of uk top gear. I don't remember seeing as much roundabouts as you shown in your video.

As for the gearbox .... What !?!? On the left. That's crazy

Trucks can drive in roundabout here, it's true that I don't know how big your trucks are.

Where else would you put the shifter? On the door? Only thing that would really be problematic can be in traffic when you are constantly changing between first and second gear which are now furthest from you unlike here or in USA.

Aren't you 18? I thought you can drive at 18

I can, but I was busy with school so I had no time. Maybe I'll do it this summer, maybe on winter break, we'll see. It's expensive as hell here in Balkans.
