At worst, you may be tempted to bury your car in a pothole an turn in your license. The sport has spread to other cities, but at this time no other city can come close to matching the caliber of Boston's own Boston Drivers.This longtime favorite is now expanded to cover the worst challenge Boston Drivers have faced in years (and will face for years to come): The Central Artery/Tunnel Project, better known as the Big Dig. Inside you'll find a complete guide to the burial of Boston's busiest highway, the building of a new harbor tunnel, and the many backups these changes will cause. Read how Boston Drivers deal with pedestrians and potholes, bicyclists and buses, toll booths and the Tobin Bridge.
