Traffic was very very free. It was great.

I have the ordinary experience of being anonymous when I'm in an airplane talking to air-traffic control and they don't know who they're talking to. I have a lot of common experiences.

A man sits in his car at the traffic lights waiting for them to go green.

'Blind Curve ' the book I'm working on now sprang from a crazy incident that happened to me last year while on my book tour. I was pulled out of my car for a minor traffic violation - an incident that escalated into my being thrown into cuffs and told I was going to jail. Except in my story the hero doesn't get off as easily as I did.

Switching over to a hybrid car is one of those right things but unfairly or not it still has a reputation among car enthusiasts as something you have to pedal really fast when you're on the ramp merging into traffic on the 401.

I'm not a car guy. The subway gets me where I need to go efficiently and cheaply and I don't worry about traffic.

What I enjoy doing more than anything is I have my little antique car collection and when the weather is pretty I like to get out one of my old cars. I have a little route I run down in the country down Nachez Trace Parkway. The loop down through there is just really relaxing not much traffic.

In L.A. I don't really want to go out because traffic sucks so bad. I'm sorry I'm not going to spend five hours a day in my car so you have to choose where you live very carefully.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.

In Japan they have TV sets in cars right now where you can punch up traffic routes weather everything! You can get Internet access already in cars in Japan so within the next 2 to 3 years it's gonna be so crazy!
