my definition of not speeding would be.. not speeding.
i said not speeding too bad, which for me is averaging like 10-15 over. if it takes you 2 hours to make it to the tunnel you have to be driving like an absolute pussy. traffic on the weekends can be bad but you just have to get up earlier. even with traffic its hardly ever taken me 2 hours to get to the tunnel, going back is the only pain in the ass, but it sucks for denver and boulder people on i70 too. traffic once you get to i25 is usually not bad.
plus you can always go through fairplay to 285, which only adds like 30 minutes for those really shitty traffic days, even less time if you speed cause you can hall ass since there are almost no cops.
i agree there are a lot of those douche bags that think fort collins is the greatest place ever, but those are the people living in old town, which i try to stay away from.. and boulders entire population has that attitude. i used to have to work with a lot of boulder people in my last job, and it seemed like almost every person that came in from boulder was just a pain in the ass to deal with and had the same snobby, stuck up attitude, always skeptical of anything we told them like they were getting ripped off.
then all the college kids are either rich as fuck wannabe hippies, or stoners who act super chill but the second they find out you dont smoke or into something other than getting high and/or partying ever day they get all pissy. even the occasional nice stoner i dont like to be around because its like talking to a fucking 5 year old. shit i picked up my friend from a party in boulder, when i came in to get him, i stayed for like 5 minutes, and some piece of shit stoner literally tried to fight me because i wouldnt drink before i drove back home.
as for things to do, boulder is just as good as fort collins, i could care less about the party/bar scene in either town, because i dont drink, and i cant stand bars, or parties. so im not going to try arguing about that because i really dont give a fuck.
but as far as things to do, boulder and foco are about tied, both have awesome surrounding areas, foco has pingree, pawnee, the poudre, horsetooth, rocky mtn natl park, etc.. i dont know as much about boulder, but from what i can tell it seems to have a pretty similar amount of great surrounding areas. and for things to do, both boulder and foco blow denver away.
its just the people that i cant stand in boulder, even the surrounding areas of boulder the attitude seems to stay the same, atleast in foco, the shitty people are for the most part only concentrated around old town.
