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 jam mug.Over a decade ago, Toyota revolutionized the American luxury car world with the introduction of the Lexus line. In the early 90s, the economy was booming and luxury cars were once again a hit. Toyota succeeded with the Lexus, and it remains to this day the top selling luxury car in the United States.
Now, comes a new trend. A trend which was spawned from the coke-snorting habits of Generation X. It is the ugly car trend.
Each big company has it's own hideous car. The infamous Honda Element (wannabe hummer), the Volkswagen Golf (Ricers seem to be all over this one now), the Pontiac Aztek (Anyone who pays money for that needs to have their heart ripped out on an altar, Aztec style), the PT Cruiser (You'll cruise right by any hopes of getting poontang in that one), and last and certainly least, the Chevy Avalanche (If you get in a collision, the rubber will make the other car bounce off you).
Toyota once again plans to dominate a rising line of cars with the ugly Scion. This includes the shoebox on wheels, and the wannabe Impala.

I had a Scion infront of me. A Pontiac Aztek to my right. A PT Cruiser to my left. And a Honda Element behind me. If I had one, I'd set off my car bomb and sacrifice my life to remove these hideous cars from the road.

Get the scion mug.A now obselete insult used by fans of the New York Yankees. Prior to the 2004 World Series, the Red Sox had not won a World Series since 1918. Some say that the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth so that the owner could fund a broadway play was the cause of a curse, which ended the Red Sox dynasty of the early 20th century, and would cause them to lose when they DID reach the World Series. The same people who thought up this 'curse' crap also wear tinfoil hats to protect against government mind control satellites.
Unfortunately for Yankees fans, they will have to think up a more unique insult to cheer at Red Sox-Yankees games at the Stadium, because with the departure of Pedro Martinez, the 'Whos Your Daddy' chant has lost it's meaning.

Yankees Fan: 1918! 1918!
Red Sox Fan: 2004! 2004! The year we won again, and the Yankees performed the biggest choke in the history of sports!
Yankees Fan: DOH! Oh well, you won't win next year since The Boss is going to cake over our multi-million dollar roster with an even MORE multi-million dollar roster, further ruining what little chemistry our all-star team has!

Get the 1918 mug.A Lexus model SC, usually referring to the 01 and up models, the SC430. It has a convertible top, navigation, and backseats which can fit luggage and midgets. The top is a mechanical hardcover similar to that on the new Mercedes-Benz SL-class.
Under the hood is what you'd expect from Lexus, a versatile but underpowered engine. The SC in particular features a V8 which gets about 300 HP. It'll last you much longer than a European import, and won't go as nearly as hard on gas (for a V8 that is), but unless you can do some serious tuning, don't expect to beat anything more than a BMW or Benz V6.

Get the lex bubble mug.The result of tailgating. The driver who is being tailgated slams his brakes, usually randomly, to spook the tailgater. They have a 'contest' to see who ends up skidding further.
Hmm, that guy is still riding up my tail. Whoa, is that a kid about to see jump onto the street? *slam* *screeeech*

Get the skid contest mug.On the highway, with more congested (but not traffic jam) hours with lots of cars, a lane shield is the car hovering next to you while you are trying to get into their lane. Sometimes this is even intentional by the driver because they feel you may be trying to cut them off. Usually they will tailgate the vehicle in front of them so that you have to brake hard or speed up infront of them both to get into their lane.

Get the lane shield mug.A car with no working brake lights (including the ones in the windshield too). When this car comes to a stop, it may suprise you, especially if the driver is a hard braker.
Sadly, sometimes hard braking is intentional if the driver knows his brake lights are out. If you rear end a car, you are always at fault, no matter what.

I kept an eye on the suprise car infront of me, I think the shady foreigner inside was trying to get a cheap screwjob.
