Making Traffic Jams

How often have you been stuck in traffic, and gotten frustrated and angry because you were going to be late to your destination? Well, I used to have that happen to me, but then I started looking at the bright side. Most people think traffic jams are mundane and boring, However, I think they are pretty fun and can be a cool way to meet new people.

One time on my way up to Denver, I got five or six different cars to join in and it was beautiful. Once you get that many cars to do it, the possibilities are actually endless.
