culture shock

Help, I'm in a suburb of Chicago and it looks like I'll be driving 3 hours a day for the next 4 days!   Is this how most American's live?  I'm sure my blood pressure has shot up.  I was so frustrated with traffic jams and road construction.  I screamed at the stupid isynch in my car (it's supposed to respond to voice commands but it doesn't understand my voice--designed for male voices I'm sure), I swore at the nice traffic cops directing me where I didn't want to go.  I underwent a personality change and became an obnoxious Chicago driver.  And this is only day 1.   wo is me.
