I scared of the LA traffic in a car..the times I've been there (mainly commuting to LAX from Indio, and also from Santa Margarita in the mid 1990's), on I 5 and I 10, I think it was, was CRAZY.
Cool cars, everywhere, though
and lots of other easy on the eyes things to admire
! Surprises abound...You never know WHO or WHAT you might see, at ANY time
! hehe
