Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Ft. Worth owns. Everything is a helluva lot cheaper over here, we get the better beer, have the better, non-stuck up women, and less traffic congestion.
Plus the cost of living is much cheaper than Dallas County.

Less traffic? You obviously don't have to drive 820. Dallas has far less construction and I get around the dallas area a lot easier than I ever did when I lived in Tarrent County. Both have there pluses but traffic is not one of ft worths sorry.

Gotta agree. Everything in Tarrant County is under construction. It's a motherfucker getting around on I-35W north of downtown, 820N and 820E, 183 through the mid cities, and 114 through Grapevine. But I guess traffic is pretty good if you live and work in Burleson.

I leave early enough to not really have to mess with it. But the side streets don't seem to be nearly as congested as when I've driven in Dallas area side streets during rush hour.
I will agree the construction sucks. But over here we are dealing with widening the divided 4 lane roads to better accomodate while Dallas have 8 lane roads that are packed full.

Now, now, let's be charitable to our easterly neighbors. Even Amon G. Carter, the great Fort Worth business leader, advised us to "flush twice, Dallas needs the water".

Ok have you all been on 635. Dallas cant even get that right. It has been under construction since the 90's. They both have their bad spots.

Yeah, it's always on 820 around Beach St. The genius working contract for TxDOT have the worst designed lane shift I have ever seen. I serious don't know if my Mustang will make it through sometimes. It is seriously like an auto cross chicane section.

Fuck 820/183! From Saginaw to near the airport and back every day, in rush hour both ways, into the sun at times sucks. Has it gotten any better in the last 3 months?
