W205
I was in SF this past weekend. If you thought Philly/NJ traffic is bad, try driving on 101, 80 & 580 in SF and you'll appreciate our East Coast traffic. There seem to be backups everywhere; a 30 minute drive turns into 1.5 hour ones.

the rain compounds the traffic situation. I use backroads most of the time, in the bay area they are very scenic and usually the speed is constant enough, I hate being trapped in traffic.

BTW, I drove calaveras this morning and it appears they are making it wider. still very nice, except on the way back from work, it is pitch black, great way to see what those full led give out and I used auto high beam - that is an awesome feature, I only experienced it in my Escalade before.

Wow, got so many replies, I was at the dealer, car was returned after 12. I guess it's individual driving.
