Watch cold tires/road. Traction at these temps is not great. The life you save could be mine I normally settle for a ride out to Captree or Robert Moses.

I agree, at those temperatures my tires feel like hockey pucks! Imposible to get any real grip.

Glad you got back in the car.

truth is i've been to LA and your traffic i think is bad but not as bad as they make it out to be,especially since u have 5 lanes of traffic everywhere. in NYC roads suck, tolls everywhere and only 3lanes in most places, sucks, however nights are the best cuz the roads are empty.
also for those quotes about the tires, i def agree, however thank goodness for the computer which tells u tire pressure... as they heat up pressure goes up so i can gauge when the tires are approx at their best, regards

I could never get into a prius after driving a porsche.. Its like having a hot supermodel wife and then banging the overweight recepionist with hair on her chin because she's convenient and costs less!
