CTC230K, definitely go for the ride. What part of CT are you coming from? Nashua to my house is like 2 hours, so it should make for a nice ride.

To all my Benz Boston friends,


Becareful on Masspike I90 West, right after Newton/Watertown exit UNDERNEATH the bridge...on the FAR RIGHT lane.

There is an invisible pot hole.

I was going 30-40 in semi traffic today and i hit the pot hole.

I have two flats on the passanger front and rear.

several cars were nailed by that pot hole today too!

SEE GOING SLOW IN THE RIGHT LANE IS NOW GOOD... Fast in the left lane is sooo much safer, why dont the police agree with me?!?

Oooooooh, sorry to hear that about your tires, It happens that I’ll be taking that route to Marlborough tomorrow and I am a big fan of the right lane

Not because I drive slow but because a lot of drivers have the tendency to drive on the fast(left) lane with the misconception that they will get to their destination faster and leaving the Slow(right) lane completely empty just cause it’s a fast lane doesn’t mean you’ll get there faster unless you press hard on that freakin guzzler you ain't goin no where faster !!!

But thanks for the advice, I think you just saved me from an inevitable two flats

55FANATIC : What time is the GTG at IHOP?
