DFW traffic is bad, but to suggest it's really bad or the worst is a monumental overstatement. Orlando, Houston, anywhere in or near LA, Philly, Boston, and a zillion other places are worse. There are a lot of cars on the road in DFW, there's too much texting an driving, and everyone has a me-first attitude. But it's still far better than the other planes I mentioned.

+1 what a bunch of dorks whining about traffic and how Californians are ruining dfw. As someone that did time in Texas....it was ruined way before any Californians got there.

at least LA (Boston, NYC, even Portland and Seattle too) has a reason for bad traffic, actually lots of people and challenging geography.

I don't "do time in TX" ......I live here. And I have lived in the exact same longitude and latitude for 11 years. I've seen the changes year by year. It is bumper to bumper where I live, on the weekends, to get out of here, and get to my twisties. LA is worse, Manhattan is worse, bfd. My point was it is a lot worse here than it used to be, and a large % of that is f'ing Kalifornians moving here. 60k property value increases in a single year from the county - too many moving here. They need to go back to where they came from.

I am so glad I have a stick V wagon. At least the depreciation isn't that bad.

Congrats on the ATS-V! It is an incredible car for what you paid for it! I don't have one in part because the back seat was too small for my growing son. It is truly an underappreciated car.

Thanks!, yes I agree the rear seats are a bit tight, hopefully it won't be too tight for my two sons over the years. Then again when I was growing up my dad had a 87 Prelude and me and my brother use to sit in the rear of that thing all of the time.
