You just need to know the back roads. Having two manual trannys have taught me to drive late at night, bring a passenger for carpool, take a toll road and even find alternative routes with a GPS but trusting a GPS is quite dangerous still IMO.

The 405 is vicious in the afternoon but if you can leave between 2 and 4, you have a much better chance.
