No offense to the fine people of Houston, Texas (or any other municipality in this post), but...

LOOK OUT! Houston is up there in my Top 10 US/Canada worst places to drive. Aside from constantly feeding the toll-road system, the drivers are at full-throttle, 24/7/365.

It's one of the only places I've been passed on the right shoulder -- on a 4-lane highway! It's pandemonium.

I'm going out on a limb here, but the hardest places to drive "efficiently" are...

Boston
Washington, D.C.
Chicago
Los Angeles
Vancouver, BC
Seattle / Tacoma
Houston
Dallas / Ft. Worth Metro
San Antonio and St. Louis (tie)
Denver
