Nobody move to SoCal please

There are many things I miss about SoCal, but the freeway traffic jams are not one of them. Hang in there, Ron!

I have one, a Hayabusa. This trip was to pick up my father in LA and bring him back to OC for a concert. I was late because of traffic, he left his place 10 minutes before I got there, and I got stuck in Monterey Park because of the stress & the traffic. I couldn't get back to OC in time for the concert myself (had to take all surface streets), so I was pretty upset that I did all that BS for nothing. A 4 hour fiasco that really left me drained....I went to a grocery store near my house and I was just sitting in the car with a 1000 yard stare...wondering if I was gonna run into "traffic" inside the store. That's the short version

Left Wednesday to come out here to West Texas for New Years. Somewhere around Riverside at 6:30 a.m. we hit a spot of traffic where it took us 1 hour to go 3 miles, just because everyone felt the need to watch some dude change his tire on the side of the road.

but I bet the weather was nice. that sucked that you missed the concert. That happened to me and my wife a few years ago we missed Conway & Korman because of contruction.

How can the traffic be bad in Cali?

Everyone in Austin is from there. i figured the streets would be empty by now.

Traffic got so bad they built us toll roads....

I feel ya Ron, traffic blows, but that sounds INSANE!

Don't worry Ron, I moved away from so-cal and won't move back, but I sure do miss it sometimes.

Didn't spend to much time on the highways when I was stationed in San Diego for school for a month, but I don't remember it being nearly as bad as here. Hampton Roads Virginia is the hellhole of driving. When a carrier, or even worse, whole battle group pulls in from deployment, expect it to take an hour longer to get anywhere. That, and you need to go through a tunnel to get anywhere. A trip up to see some family 100 miles away took 6 hours, no shit. About 4 of that was to cover the 20 miles to get to and through the tunnel because it was shut down to one lane. Fun for all.
