    "I drive. It's a race track for inexperienced drivers who all have a be first attitude. Littered with rim wrecking pot holes and tire puncturing debri. They dig up streets and leave the ditches for months / years. Parking is unreliable and permits are needed to keep your car from being ticketed on the street you actually live on. It's a 3 out of 10.
