      its short for interstate, so it would be awkard to say "the interstate 5"

        that place needs to fall off already. Once jon escapes though.
        Thanks for sparing me ;-)

          however, you dont say "interstate" so its not so awkward. you do have a point though, i should've changed one of the options to "the 5" like mentioned earlier. i only recently started saying "i" because ive been brainwashed by washington ppl.

            YES, THANK YOU to our savior!

            Although, I already voted for the CORRECT thing to say.

            I'm with Rob on this one...California should no longer exist...lol

              The I5 is the correct grammar.

              Fucking waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles of a fucking shitfuck piece of fucking tarmac would probably be more appropriate (considering I'm having a shit day)

                It is a Norcal - Socal thing.

                In Norcal, people generally don't use the. (take 205 to 5 north...)
                In Socal, people use the. jump on the 5.

                Nobody I know says I though. There is no need to say I-5

                      "I took the 5."

                          "while driving down I-5 today"

                          "yeah, take the next exit after 5 and 80 cross, to go to downtown Sacramento"

                          "if you're on the 5, then 99 runs parallel to you for the most part"

                          i can see myself saying all 3.
