    It's a good idea to use the locker every few months, that way it doesn't fail you when you actually need it. Just find an empty parking lot and go in a straight line for a hundred yards or so.

    @St.Germain @PROseur

    I've driven through DFW, Houston, and Atlanta.... I understand bad traffic. Baton Rouge really has little excuse for the traffic it has for the size it is. We have a bit of refining, chemical, and energy industries here, so we get a little bit of traffic, but the real problem is that I-10 essentially drops to one lane going east across the bridge. I leave for work early and it takes me 30 minutes to get there..... Home? 1 hour is a good day, but I have to drive 10 miles out of my way to avoid sitting in traffic..... 2 hours isn't unusual.

    We can't build roads, we can't manage traffic, and holy crap we can't drive down here.

    The food is awesome though.

    Come to LA traffic.... The worst I've ever been is Tokyo. 2 hours to go 12 miles! From Narita airport to central Tokyo! This is "NORMAL" traffic!!!

    I know there is worse. The problem I really have is that there isn't a good reason they don't fix the problems here other than they don't want to spend the money. Your problems are due to population, ours are we don't want to fix it.

    Worse than Japan has been Calcutta, Bangkok, and HK in my experience

    Compared to all that, LA is a pleasure

    Japan and LA look "controlled", the other countries are chaotic like ant trails sprouting.

    I'm that guy.

    I bought a new SR-5 Auto in September and from the minute I drove it off the lot I felt the life draining out of me. The sloppy, indecisive, no idea-what-gear-it-wanted-to-be-in automatic made my eyes glaze over and constantly made me question the futility of my existence. I finally did the only impulsive thing I could think of doing - I drove it to a dealer, closed my eyes, opened my wallet and traded it back in for a 2017 Sport 6MT.

    I have never made a less rational decision in my life...but I truly couldn't be happier.

    6MT cures everything in life. It is the happiness for all

    I kind of regret not getting 4WD. Never driven RWD in the rain or snow and we are moving back to Seattle in a few months...slightly nervous :(
