The Ride The Driver: Megan Car in Question: Black 2010 Chevy Cobalt Spotted at: Rapid Transit Cycle Shop, 1900 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60622 Odometer: 15,442 THE DEFENSE

Q: What’s your Chevy Cobalt’s main use?

A: I mainly use my car to drive to and from school and work. I’m currently attending DePaul University, so I travel from the south suburbs to the north side every day.

Q: How is that commute?

A: Most of my classes generally begin in the early afternoon, so the drive there is generally smooth. There really isn’t much traffic, so I get to school pretty quickly. Now, coming home is a totally different situation. I generally don’t leave until 4:00 p.m., which is during rush hour traffic.

Q: Sounds like you have some pretty strong views on driving in the city versus driving in the suburbs?

A: The city has too much traffic in my opinion. Sometimes it takes an hour to get to a place that should really only take twenty minutes. That is so irritating too me. I also can’t stand bicyclists! They are always in the way. In the suburbs, you don’t have to worry about any of that. Traffic is always generally very good. If people ride bicycles they primarily ride them around their neighborhood or on a bike trail. You rarely if ever encounter them, which is a good thing. "
