LA Traffic!!!!AAAH
Just Spent a week in LA and now I know why there are road rage deaths. The only time I really wished I had My Boxster the whole week was coming back from the coast highway over Topanga Canyon Road. I may have to go Back rent a P-car and try it.

Funny! Having just returned from a vacation up 101 to 1 to Montery I understand your pain. On the good news, almost every passing lane I just dropped in in to third (into 2nd once) and zipped around the slow pokes. It was killing me to be doing 35 in a 55 zone.
Only scared the wife once. The time I dropped it into 2nd and hit 90+ (might have been higher as I stopped looking at the speedometer), but it was a long straightaway and I merged with plenty of room to spare. It is so much nicer to cruise up the 1 without traffic. Nice curves. Good scenery. and Cool. Averaged 60~70 vs. the 115 where I live in Palm Desert. |
Curious to know how many motor cycle fatalities a year on the 405 and 5 they are nuts!!

For the road less travelled, head over to Pasadena and go up CA-2 "Angeles Crest Highway". You get into some beautiful scenery and curvey roads. And if you get hungry, a stop at Newcombs Ranch is a nice respite.

Spent many years living right off the 101/405 interchange (Encino), and right after college near the 5/2 and 5/101/110 nightmares (Los Feliz), and it is the one thing I don't miss about California.
However, the drive up the coast on HWY 1, up Highway 2, or a cruise on the Ortega HWY are truly things to cherrish. Of course I really miss In-N-Out Burger too. |
My life is dominated by PCH from Malibu to the 10 / 405 interchange. I am quite accomplished at lowspeed take-offs....
