LA traffic is evil incarnate.

FTR the first fatility I saw while on the road involved one of those concrete barriers... the guy was speeding and sideswiped a Volvo wagon, lost control and slammed into it; his car flipped over a few times and he got his upper body torn off. Pleasant!

yeah, I've been to LA several times, I know the traffic is bad. I couldn't imagine living there.

btw, my mechanic said there was nothing wrong other than the plastic sheild being ripped off. I'm supposed to take it in next week to have a new one put on... $105 for a piece of plastic.. sheesh. :rolleyes:
