No problems with maps or when mapquest doesn't send me the wrong direction after I get to within 1/2 a mile of where I am going

Getting to tech day the directions were perfect. Only thing that would have helped was knowing that IMMEDIATELY after you get off the interstate you have to turn left

And it's harder now w/o a navigator I took it upon myself the last 2 trips to say screw you mapquest and went the way I wanted to

I would love to have a GPS - just not willing to give up a track day for it You got a spare GPS lying around? I'll use it

Works for me, I hate being the lead car
It was actually kinda fun following people around last weekend with my Civic
We exited 495 going to Steve's a little fast - nice line but should have braked before the final turn
Yes I am desperate for group drive season to start again

I don't buy it.

I gave you PERFECT directions from the thruway to my house, a total distance of 6.5 miles, and you still got lost...

Because it was dark and hard to read the directions while driving!
If I hadn't have driven 4 1/2 hours in an ice storm just to visit you I would have arrived before dark
Or if I had not stopped to visit head chef for lunch

Just for the record - for anyone that wears contacts - it is NOT a good idea to leave them in a car over night in freezing temperatures

Mine never recovered and were not OK to wear again. Had to toss out that pair. For some reason I thought the saline would keep them soft but turns out saline can freeze into little balls of ice
