You know, I gotta tell you. Being from Canada, it always cracked me up how you'd almost always see a traffic jam whenever Socal got hit with some rain. With the shit we drive through up here, it does look pretty funny. But having driven cross country a few times in the past couple of years, my respect for US drivers has increased immensely. Up here in Canada, at least where I live, driving 65 bumper to bumper means, slam on your brakes so the fucker behind you gets off your ass. But freeway drivers in the US don't miss a beat.

PLUS, when there IS a traffic jam (I've been privledged enough to be in a couple), it's like a well oiled machine in letting people in. Up here, people leave hockey games early to avoid the traffic jam because they KNOW noone will let them in.
