Maybe he's trying to give you a cheap thrill.

The game in these here parts is, when changing lanes, to try to steer through the empty spaces and NOT hit them. A little harder than it looks when going 80.

LOL! Funny, Buzz...but he is really hurting his chances at any thrill!

I guess you could trade him in on a newer model that stays in between the bumps.

I think those little white dots in the road are a good thing. Im pretty good at changing lanes without hitting a single one. Its a great way to keep people from drifting in and out of lanes to prevent accidents. More cities should have them

Something I noticed particularly along North Decatur between Rancho up to like 215. The east side of Decatur is North Las Vegas, the west is Las Vegas. The NLV side has white stripes painted, whereas the LV side has those round white dots instead. Interesting

Yep. I used to live a block west of Decatur just off Lone Mountain. Decatur ended at Ann Rd, and there was almost nothing north of Lone Mtn. on the NLV side. That was only 8½ years ago.

LV drivers also go slow on the freeways. 85 mph is not uncommon in SE MI even in fairly heavy traffic.

The Loneliest Road in America

One of the best ways to experience Nevada is to travel Highway 50 -- the so-called "Loneliest Road in America."

The Loneliest Road in America

If you don't like traffic....

You know they just closed the Vons at Lone Mountain and Decatur? Like last week I think it closed. Vons is planning more closings (Sahara and Decatur is next) and I am worried that they will eventually pull out of the Las Vegas market altogether. That worries me. On the one hand I'd rather shop at Smith's anyways, but on the other hand I need the money still...

Hopefully I will be 21 and working in gaming or something better paying long before that happens

Sounds yummy! I'll have to add it to my list of restaurants to visit, when I eventually go on my cross-country road trip.
