#13	Santee August 2 at 11:58am When in Rome.. reply
#12	Steve July 13 at 3:55pm He'she typical rome cab driver. Mine went the opposite direction on one way streets in traffic. reply
#11	Panthervision July 11 at 6:57pm Just calling it as it is. reply
#10	Anonymous Coward July 11 at 10:57am Dude, everybody in Roma drives like that. If you don't, you die! reply
#9	run_tjb July 11 at 12:58am sick watch. g-shock ftw. reply
#8	Come On. July 10 at 5:07pm Why does this video have to inspire American-style xenophobia? We don't have to fear everyone who's not like us. reply
#7	Dude July 10 at 10:55am If I remember right, they only shower from time to time over there and they take a wiz wherever they feel inspired, so nose picking is probably not too extraordinary, there's no place like the USA, reply
#6	qsuriname July 10 at 10:49am Haha..you're a moron. reply
#5	Rome July 10 at 9:03am Rules about Roman cab drivers 1) they are all crazy 2) you negotiate the price before the ride starts or they will rip you off reply
#4	Bart VanAalst July 10 at 4:34am Welcome to Italy... land of Ferrari, Lamborghini and a lot of people who cannot afford those cars, but drive like they're in F1 or the 1000 Miles-race. A ride in a rollercoaster at funpark costs a lot more ;-) reply
#3	Haha July 10 at 2:03am silly yanks getting ripped off by cab drivers....i love it..serves you right reply
#2	Stuart Warner July 9 at 7:59pm Finally, you meet a driver who knows exactly what he's doing--after all, no one died--and all you do is kvetch! reply
#1	Panthervision July 9 at 7:21pm That must have been ridiculous. The look of shock and disbelief on their faces and the way you were all talking about the cab ride, I have been in some sketchy rides myself, so I know how you all felt. reply

Crazy Rome cab ride with Dorian and Maggie

The video will not do this experience enough justice but hopefully it gives a little insight as to what our cab ride was like. After we explored some of rome, this Italian taxi driver drove us back to the hotel and he was the CRAZIEST driver I've ever seen.....and if you know me and my driving history, thats saying a lot. He was running red lights, pulling u-turns, speeding and slamming on breaks, on the phone, picking his nose, swearing at people. Just ridiculous. All along Dorian Ulrey and Maggie Vessey are wondering if they will get back to the hotel alive to be able to run their races tomorrow!

Dorian runs the 1500 where he needs to get the 'A' standard of 3:36.2 so he can go to the World Championships in Berlin. Maggie runs the 800 and still has a shot to go to Worlds (she finished 4th at USAs but as of now Phoebe Wright does not have the standard).
