It would appear that you have never been to Los Angeles in the rain. People
standing in doorways looking out forlornly, wondering just what the hell is
falling from the sky. Then when they realize that Bigbucks won't deliver a
triple latte, they all leave late and drive fast to make up time. I believe
that the master plan here is "leave late drive fast, it's safer that way"

My mistake, I should have typed SUV, but there are some 4WD types here that
aren't too bright also. (48" tires, massive lift kits, and a center of gravity
located on the third floor of the building next door <G>)
One thing I'll say, it's never dull driving in LA, the driving capitol of the
third world
