Huh? Realistically a cab would suck in Riverside - not in LA.

Huh?

A cab would only suck in Riverside from July until September when it's in the 90's and low 100's. The rest of the year, when it's sunny and 75, a cab would be perfect.

BAH - that's what the little snowflake is for on the climate control I drive mine in NC with 100 degree weather and 90% humidity with the AC on high. Nothing like the wind in your hair....or what's left of it

Dante12, you mean that **** isn't to turn on the four wheel drive for driving in the snow? You learn something new every day....

But seriously, you missed my point. The guy I replied to stated that a cab would suck in Riverside (a California city outside of LA on the edge of the desert) but not in LA. My point was that, although we get pretty warm in the summer in Riverside, the rest of the year is generally warm, sunny, and quite pleasant. I think flying along the wide open desert roads on a 75 degree clear February day top down sure beats being stuck on the LA freeways.

The picture was taken from my house, in Riverside, on New Years Eve. It was about 72 outside.
