Spent all week driving the hell out of these two cars all over LA. Mulholland, Tujunga, Angeles Crest, PCH, I did all of it. Drove last night in the Fiat until 1 AM. I parked at a dusty outcrop near the Hollywood sign overlooking the city. The exhaust pinged itself cool while the faint smell of hot brakes wafted from the Fiat. I love this city. It has flaws. it’s frightfully expensive and the air is brown. But I love it. I need to be here.

CARB only applies to cars newer than ‘74 so doesn’t really matter to me. Traffic is traffic. I’ve spent weeks driving around LA. and like I said, the city has flaws.

I don’t make a lot of money and I live in L.A. comfortably. The city is so big, there’s a place for everyone. Traffic is terrible, but not far away are some fantastic driving roads. Plus, great weather, beaches, there’s always something fun to do, and CARB keeps our air from turning too brown. I don’t want to live anywhere else.

Honestly I miss living in LA. I find the traffic fun, sort of. I grew up there so I guess maybe I am used to it.

Tires and brakes are expensive - someone who used to live just north of the Malibu canyons and spent too much time driving through them

It is totally all about the canyon roads. Screw anything south of Griffith Park and the Santa Monica Mountains, basically all of that area of LA does not exist in my mind. Until you get down near San Diego, then it is sweet again. But I would gladly live North of there and enjoy the roads every single day. My ideal commute would be to take Mulholland highway every day for the rest of my life.
