Thanks for the comments. Admittedly driving on Kauai doesn't gear me up for city driving, but I have and do drive all over the world. 2K mls in england and 2k mls on the Eu Continent last summer. Drove around the island of Bali, all over New Zealand, some in Australia, Riding scooters in Thailand, etc. in years past
But what impresses me here in L A area is the success of drivers here to carry such high speeds and making such aggressive moves in very close proximity with no more problems than there are. Lots of practice I guess.

I do have to consciously sloow down once back in islands, after visits to LA where my in laws live.

Each time I get to drive around Cal. it just blows my mind , the diversity of country side.
Did the drive up highway 395 in eastern Cal. a few years ago, thru Big pine to the back side of Yosemite, wow really beautiful out there. The east side of the coastal range north of Paso Robles. fantastic!

The recurring bummer is that my SC is at home and I am driving a rental or my father in laws car.

I would love to get together with other enthusiasts some time. I went by TRE a couple years ago on new years day, but didn't manage to wrangle a ride. impressed with the cars tho.

Milt, was coming into L A sat pm. so it may have been a busy time. But the contrast Ive pointed out seem to be the norm. Maybe a little of the rats in a box, just skilled rats.


Cheers
