Well, Phoenix is right up there! Can't imagine that having temperatures above 100 for about 100 days every year has anything to do with it!!

I don't think it is as bad here as Chicago, L.A., or San Diego. Been in all three at different times.

My biggest complaint (but only causes single digit road rage sometimes) is that when I am stopped at a stop sign and the guy behind me honks because he thinks he knows better than I do when it is safe to go.

I think they only ranked 20 cities, which explains why DFW is in the bottom half. :lol:

I've driven in Miami before. NEVER AGAIN! :eek:
