After spending the last two months driving back and forth from Shelby to Chapel Hill, I have come to a conclusion — the money the state, counties and cities want to spend on light rail could be better spent repaving I-85 from Charlotte to Greensboro, as well as help the prace of the I-40 project. I’ve never seen more bumps in a long stretch of road since I was in college in West Virginia and taking Saturday trips to Pittsburgh.

I honestly believe that some of the bumps in the road is why my car is out of allignment right now, one month after getting it alligned. That and driving 18,000 miles in two months.
