O/T - why I have learned to hate California, and why I missed CFOS - a photo story Options

[byndbad914]

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.
