So Joe and I are going to St Louis this coming weekend. He did his undergrad there so he's got friends there, and i need to break from Chicago, and this gives me a great chance to explore my beloved Illinois. The problem is we are leaving from downtown Chicago at 4pm, at the peak of rush hour traffic outbound on I-55. So i get to see every
mile after magnificent mile in the pitch black. At least i'm gonna rent for the trip a fierce Mazda 6, automatic, considering i dont want to deal with a manual transmission car in what i'm sure will be an hour plus of idling in traffic.
