So having had a car for over a month, and driving on Austin roads during that time, I just have one thing to say: Austin drivers are the slowest drivers I've ever met. The speed limit on Highway 183, which is a major highway that pretends it's an interstate with exits and on ramps, has a speed limit of 65. Going all of 68, I end up passing just about every single car. The average speed on it, and without exaggerating at all, has to be about 60 MPH. I just don't understand, but for the first time in my life I'm the "fast" car. Also Texas has what's called service roads which mean that to get anywhere you pretty much have to make a U-Turn at some point. All the stores, instead of being lined up along streets, are lined up against the service road, which is a one way street one each side. So the same quarter mile trip in Florida turns into a 2 mile trip in Texas if the store is at a particularly bad location. It's really annoying most of the time, except when traffic is stopped on the main road and you can just take the service road instead.
UF is getting video replay screens for the O'Dome! I suppose that's what happens when you win a national championship and donations increase dramatically.
