They are finally replacing all the crappy concrete highways which have plagued our city (Richmond VA) for decades with asphalt!

Instead of any useful information, this weekend the signs on chicago area expressways had the following message: PUT AN "ICE" CONTACT ON YOUR CELL PHONE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. Anyone know what this means or have a clue why it supplanted any useful traffic info?

I finally got around to try to record a little of my driving using my laptop and a webcam, per Scott's suggestion. Can't say it worked great, although it was in part my 200 MMX laptop's (running XP Pro) fault which wasn't quite fast enough. The other problems were ****ty sound quality and mounting...

My brother drives an old Volvo automatic and he complains about only getting 19 mpg, and not the 20-22 the EPA rating gives.
