so I had to run out to Corona to pickup some streamline tubing for my rear wing uprights on Saturday, so I thought kill 3 birds with one stone - swing by the chassis shop in Orange to see the progress and take some pics, head out to Corona and get the tubing, then go out to Fontana for a couple of hours to spectate at the CFOS.
91 freeway is a joke - at least the "freeway" part. NO such thing as free moving traffic in SoCal anymore. Where the fro are all of these people going at 2pm on a Saturday anyway! I left Orange and traveled 13 miles - took 40 minutes on the freeway. So, for those out there that aren't familiar with how bad traffic can be - this isn't LA and the fabled 405. Nope - SEVEN freaking lanes of crawling traffic. Needless to say, by the time I got to Aircraft Spruce, I just turned around and headed back home. Interstate 15 doesn't get any better, so I figured another 20 miles of driving and it would have been 5pm - party over and I would be just pulling up to the gate. Attached image(s) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) it took me 35 minutes to travel from LA to Orange (37 miles in 35 minutes), about 3 minutes to hit the 55 and whammo - lock the brakes up and start crawling. I just leave it in second so it won't idle up to speed as quickly. Sad to be idling your way out to Corona on a freeway. I thought mid-afternoon might be a bit easier to miss the people leaving in the AM to go out to Lake Perris, or Vegas or the river, or ?? Where the hell are all those people going at 2pm? |
