remember, gas costs half over here. most cars are more thirsty. most now are not uncomfortable, and the higher seating alows easier entry and exit.

come to calgary, our drivers are worse, and we have lots of snow. I found driving in vegas decent, the best place I have driven was southern california. havent driven in most states, but that one is good. montana is nice, hard to judge the drivers though, you can go an hour at 95 mph and not see a car in either direction
