Keep the throttle light and get it into top gear as soon as the engine will pull it. Be careful about Chicago traffic. Stay in the right lane.

I remember once being in chicago traffic and being forced into the left lane by traffic while on the brakes in the snow. I did a 180 degree spin on the expressway in my R5. I was facing traffic in rush hour.

Soon after, I moved out of that rat race and never looked back. Crime here is at about 2% of what I used to experience.
