I second that!!!
found out the hard way. Had to fly in there when DW's mom got sick.
My GPS went out when we were driving through the "big dig",
when I tried to re-route, it just said "not gonna do it, you are on your own!"
hehehehehe
oh yeah, it was winter! (it gets really cold there in winter!!)

Boston drivers aren't as bad as drivers in Philly.
They are freakin crazy.
Have never seen drivers take so many chances & drive on pure luck. L A drivers have never bothered me after my Philly trips. Bostonians all speak like the Kennedys, or is it vica versa?
Bostonians can at least be understood, while Philly folk, well understanding them is challanging & mind blowing at best. I do Love Philly Mummers tho. ;) Too drunk to drive. Too drunk to talk. Too drunk to care.

And your car may freeze to the parking lot.

I dunno - we've seen some pretty crazy drivers down in Orlando! The guy blowing by us and shaking his finger at us still resides in my memory.
But yes, if you do come here, and you like black coffee, make sure you tell them you want a BLACK COFFEE. If you ask for a "regular coffee", you will get the Boston traditional "coffee regyahlah" - coffee with cream and sugar.
A lesson my dad, from Iowa, learned a long time ago and has never forgotten.
Gawrsh, yah-huh!

Seeing it's a PC, I would have beat it with a bat and ventilated it with a 12 ga. before setting off an internal explosive. JMHO. :twisted:
