The Traffic

So I figured out what the transmission thing was doing. Apparently it can be fully automatic or semi, depending on your choice. The semi is really usefull for driving up and down the hills of Oregon. This car has great handling, but doesn't have a lot of power. It accellerates slowly and a lot of these slopes the car can't go up at all unless I downshift, and even when I do that, it doesn't go up very much.

Now I'm sitting in traffic, trying to get out of Seattle, and really wishing that I had been ready an hour or two earlier. Suck.
