1.5 hours on the 405 this morning has broken me.

[MrAngryFace]

I am getting an automatic first chance I get

[FlameOfCallandor]

I hear ya. Where do you live? Austin has alot of hills which makes it even more painful

[Mr. Gundam]

MAF's on the East Side in the greater Seattle area. The 405 commute is hell on good days.

[FlameOfCallandor]

that sucks. How hilly is Seattle? I'm afraid that someday my foot will slip and I will hit a car behind me.

[MrAngryFace]

No hills where I usually travel which is a blessing, but the stop and go today was some of the worst ive ever experienced, and ive driven the 202 loop between Mesa and Phoenix AZ

[Saint Cornelius]

A manual Focus? You're hardcore.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

is this the same 405 we have down in socal

[MrAngryFace]

No, there are 405's lots of places lol. There is a chance 405 is some code word for 'sucks to drive' tho.

[Mr. Gundam]

The city of Seattle is pretty hilly, but nothing terrible.

[MrAngryFace]

I do the Mill Creek to Redmond drive. Bothell/Everett Hwy takes anywhere from 15-25 minutes to get to the 405, then 405 without carpool takes anywhere from 25-60 minutes depending on a whole slew of variables.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

yeah I spent 45 minutes on the 405 yesterday morning (normally takes 10 minutes)

FOUR OH FIVE

As the 405 in Southern Orange County is the worst freeway in the world, this is likely true.

I used to think the 5, 10, 101, and 91 were bad. But I've seen days when there was simply no freeflow traffic. None at all, just stopped from 7 am to 7 pm. An amorphous mass of Rush Hour.

[Mr. Gundam]

 I took the 405 and drilled a stake down into
your center, and stated that it's never ever
been better than this. I hung my favorite
shirt on the floorboard, wrinkled up from
pulling pushing and tasting.

You keep twisting the truth that keeps me
thrown askew.

Misguided by the 405 'cause it lead me to an
alcoholic summer. I missed the exit to your
parents' house hours aga. Red wine and the
cigarettes: hide you bad habits underneath
the patio.

[Van Cruncheon]

i had an argument at lunch with a fellow manager who asked me why i called it the 405. i said "you don't call the devil, devil, do you?"

[Howard Alan Treesong]

you always use the definite article with roads, anyhow. at least here.

"take the 405 to the 605 to the 805."

maybe the rule is looser for < 100 roads

[bagofeyes]

Whats the difference between 'a' and 'the' ?

[CajoleJuice]

No, there are 405's lots of places lol. There is a chance 405 is some code word for 'sucks to drive' tho.

The L.I.E. is 495...so close.

[muckson]

i am so not looking forward to freeways when i get back to america. 

fuck.
