    In 2018, i had to talk a roommate out of buying an F150. He wanted to buy it because we were moving… Two miles down the road. We lived in the valley, and he was going to school in Hollywood. Imagine driving 30-40 miles, daily, on the 101, in bumper to bumper traffic, with Los Angeles gas prices. I showed him some napkin math and he ended up getting a Honda Civic and renting a uhaul.

        It’s not a joke.

        I still remember the route to my Moms place

        101 to the 126 to the 5 to the 210 to the 57 to the 71 to the 15 to the 78.

        All to try and bypass LA traffic.

        The 405 is always bumper to bumper around LAX, even at 3 AM.

        That route was the fastest. Or it was like 15 years ago.
