speaking of the 405, one of the very first Divx short video I downloaded when I had 56k, was where a plane made an emergency landing on the 405.

that and the fast and the furious.

Movies why you take so long on 56k?

I live out about 40 miles down the 405 in Orange County.

On a good day, that's 45-50 minutes?


On a weekend 1.5- 2 hours?
Weekday rush hour? fuggetabouttit



That's the "West LA" West of downtown. My parents place was east of it so I never ventured out there for the longest time.. I started to later on and despised the traffic..


I have no reason for being out there.. icky dirty LA


I'm an OC guy myself to be honest.. it helps that I went to school there too

I was in the Dale for a while.... I got tired of traffic at 1 in the morning so I came on back. Was supposed to move to Lancaster when my pops went into corrections, but he was able to snag a spot at Folsom prison.

I thought you bought it already.. shiett.. don't do it playa. And unless you're buy a MT Accord, don't buy it as well. Honda's CVTs didn't have half the issues the JATCO CVTs, but they are inherently bad designs. Plus if you've never driven one, it takes some getting used to.

Srs playa, save yo dough or look elsewhere. If you didn't have a gubmint job I'd flat out say just save yo dough, might need it.
