      Detroit Driving Tips for our 2006 Superbowl       Guests:

1. First, you must learn to pronounce the city       name. ?It's Di-troit, NOT
DEE-troit. If you pronounce it DEE-Troit       then we will assume you are from
Toledo and here for the country Music       hoe-down.

2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere.       ?Detroit has its own
version of traffic rules... Hold on and       pray!

3. The morning rush hour is from 6:00am to 10:00am. ?The       evening rush hour
is from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. ?Friday's rush hour       starts Thursday morning.
Weekends are open game.

4. If you       actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cussed
out and       possibly shot. If you're first off the starting line when the
light       turns green, count to five before going. ?This will avoid getting       in
the way of cross-traffic who just ran their yellow light to keep       from
getting shot.

5. Schoenherr can ONLY be properly pronounced       by a native of the Detroit
metro area. That goes for Gratiot       too.

6. Construction and renovation on I-94,I-96, I-75, I-275,       I-375, The Lodge
and The Southfield Freeways are a way of life. Just       deal with it.

7. If someone actually has their turn signal on, it       is probably a factory
defect or they are "out-of-towners."

8.       All old men with white hair wearing a hat have total       right-of-way.

9. The minimum acceptable speed on I-696 is 85       regardless of the posted
speeds. Anything less is considered downright       SISSY. Oh, and don't even
think of allowing more than one car length       between cars!

10. That attractive wrought iron on the windows and       doors in Detroit is
NOT ornamental. DO NOT get out of your       car.

11. Never stare at the driver of the car with the bumper       sticker that
reads "Keep honking, I'm reloading."

12. If you are       in the left lane, and only going 70 in a 60 mph zone,
people are not       waving 'because they are so friendly in Detroit. I would
suggest you       duck.

13. I-275/I-696 is our daily version of NASCAR.

14.       It's not M-10, it's "the Lodge".

15. That's not a lake, it's a       pothole.

16. If someone tells you it's on Outer Drive, you better       hope you have a
map.

17. The left turn is simple. If you want to       turn left, go a 1/4 of a mile
past your turn, get to the left, then       make a left, then ?make a right. NOW
you have gone       left.

ENJOY YOUR STAY, BUT AVOID EYE-CONTACT WITH THE       LOCALS!
