Me too.

And yes, I realize I'm violating Post rule #1 - always post twice when only once will do!

Only place I know that has traffic on Sunday at 6AM...
Of course the 405 is going to be packed at 6am if it's a sunny Sunday - everyone's going to the beach!

lol. you get use to it after awhile.

on my way back to irvine from sd, i did 85 once in the fast lane and damn was that a mistake. i had old ladies in es300 cut over one lane, pass me up, and then go in front of me. geez granny had balls of steel to be going like 90 in her lexus LOL.

going down the 15, min speed is like 85. freaking everyone else is doing like 90+ and them big 18 wheel trucks are doing like 75. people speed like a mofo in sd LOL.

you go anything above 75 on the 101 and you stuck out like a sore thumb! asking for a ticket!
