Charlie, there are plenty of full size Hummers in Boston.  It helps put the
Excursion drivers into perspective.

While I agree with everything you say, having just gotten back from an
extended west coast trip, including a couple of days in LA, I can
categorically state that LA drivers are even worse than Boston drivers.  One
common LA driving trait that absolutely drives me crazy is when people use
the parking lane as a travel lane - swerving in and out of traffic as they
encounter cars that are parked in the parking lane..
