I really didn't have time to look closely at the license plate. I was kind of busy driving along at 35 mph while that car was parked and with another car behind it. Considering this town, I wouldn't be surprised at *any* reason why it was dressed up like that.

Yeah, how 'bout 'em? The reason I didn't put this in the Car Talk section and instead chose Off Topic is because I don't expect the discussion to stay strictly about cars. The topic is "Crazy stuff you see in LA" not "Crazy cars you see in LA." My dashcam doesn't always *just* catch footage of cars. Thanks for asking me about it though.

No you don't. It's a terrible, terrible place. Awful weather. Crappy roads. No scenery. No exciting or exotic cars. No interesting stuff at all. Best to not come here. Seriously. Just visit, leave your money, then go home. Trust me, it's for the best. (Just kidding. I've lived here for a very long time and the fam back east --where it snows and rains and whatnot-- keep asking when I'm coming "home." Um...)

So last night on my way across the west side I was waiting to make a right at a very active intersection. And I see this man carrying something (with both arms) toward the bus stop bench and he's walking very strangely. As I watched, I realized the reason for the strange walk was his pants were falling down and he was sort of trying to keep them from doing so while carrying his stuff. But gravity was winning and his tighty-whities were on full display. But his pants still had enough of a grip on the underwear that those too began to lose the war with gravity.

Both pics (from my dash cam footage) show the guy just a micro-second before his undies lost the battle. I really don't want to post his bare-butt on web.

Don't blame you. I kinda like the changing of the seasons but absolutely hate snow!

Money doesn't buy taste.

That may be true, but given the option, I would rather have the money instead of having both no money AND no taste.

At least I could have some very tasteless fun then.
