The Murphy's Law of Driving
1) The car infront of you is always slower.
2) The car in back of you always wants to go faster.
3) There is never traffic until you start to back out of your driveway.
4) There is never traffic until you reach the stop sign.
5) When you are in a hurry, everyone is on a joy ride.
6) When you are looking for an address, everyone is in a hurry.
7) Bugs, salt, and other grime on the windshield are attracted to the area directly infront of your line of sight.
8) If a car in the other lane is hovering between you and the car infront of you, he wants to switch, even though...
9) Turn signals (blinkas) are never used.
10) Your exit is 3 lanes to the right, and about 200 feet away.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Get the bitermug. 1) A movie starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
2) Evening hours when the roads begin to get congested like a fat man's arteries. Usually starts around 4 and ends at 8, reaching total gridlock at 5. Drivers during these hours seem to be more concerned with not letting you get infront of them in lane switches (by speeding up alongside of you) than their own wellbeing. They also don't want to wait more than 3 milliseconds to take a left turn even when there is oncoming traffic. Even if they broke a hundred traffic laws to get there, drivers still seem to obey the speed limit when they are the first car in traffic, while everyone else is tailgating. Argh.

Get the rush hourmug. During long road trips, you may come across (or rather, they'll come across you) a lightning rod. It is basically a car which has one goal on the highway... to keep in the triple digits MPH. You'll discover them most likely riding your tail if your in the left lane.
The purpose of a lightning rod is to let them go. Chances are, you aren't obeying the speed limit either and, on a long road trip, you'll want to be pushing around 80. Police fundraisers on the side of the highway will catch this guy first. Lightning rods will eventually leave the highway or disappear into the horizon, and ghost cars might creep up on you.

Get the lightning rodmug. The by-product of either rush hour or a lane closing as a result of a car accident or construction. Mainstreets and highways become choked with cars that are literally bumper to bumper. Like a bad storm, usually the only way out of a traffic jam is sitting through it.
Car lines and lane shields make getting off an exit a daunting game of chicken. Road rage is also pretty common.

There was a huge traffic jam on I-93 when some idiots collided into each other, causing two lane closures. It was backed up all the way to Quincy.

Get the traffic jammug. Began with the Boston Braves vs. Boston Red Sox. Today it's popular to describe the New York Mets vs. New York Yankees series as the subway series.

Get the subway seriesmug. An automobile which is most likely older than it's owner, but not old enough to be an eye-catching classic. Sporting a very dull paint job and Psoriasis-like rust spots, do-it-yourself tints with more bubbles than a freshly opened champaign bottle, a fully installed racing drivers seat (with the other seats left stock and most likely broken/torn), 5" plastic (or for more well-off hoopty drivers, aluminium) rims bought at a local Wal-Mart, and a rice-class muffler which belches out a large jet ski like sound, possibly so that the driver can attract the attention of blind chicks who otherwise can't be disguised by the hideousness of this vehicle.
*Hoopty comes fart canning alongside to a chick walking with a blind tapping cane*
Driver: "Hey baby, need a ride?"
Chick: "What kind of car you got?"
Driver: "It's a Ford GT"
Chick: "Really!?"
Chick's friend: "He's lying. It's a 1986 Honda CRX. Let's take the bus instead"
