I thought it was an unspoken rule of etiquette that you're not *supposed* to honk in LA unless you must, to avoid an accident. LOL Guess whoever said that was wrong!
Okay, I don't feel AS badly because I thought it was only happening to me. There was one vid yesterday that took about as long to load in, and it wasn't even HD.
I don't miss the traffic in LA either! OR the traffic in San Diego! I was just down that way sitting in traffic...arg! But it was worth it! I had a fab time! :-)
Well if ya get a choice to rent, and they give ya the big car for the same price, why not. Its fun every once in a while! Just careful of the Hummer dissers out in LA.. LOL :D
eastbound 10 effed up all week-end (and the same thing 2 week-ends ago) because of a damn movie they've been filming on the 4th Street overpass of the 110- a choreographed traffic pile-up with smoke and lights that idiots just HAVE to slow down to a crawl and gawk out. Don't even get me started. SO ANNOYING.
There is a valid theory that much of the honking comes from folks of Hispanic descent, mostly from Central America. I grew up in Panama and we had a distinct language of which honks to use when, and the duration. My father instructed me not to do it when we moved to the US. Except in LA.
Your lookin' good inside the Hummer. They are honking because they recognised you as a famous YouTube star. :-) I don't think you had a clue where you were. lol. and did not care either. ha.
Here it doesn't matter about the number of honks, but their duration that differentiates between what action is required of the horn recipient. I guess it's a west coast east coast thing.
That was funny! Enjoyable to watch and yet depressing because when I look out my window, it looks nothing like where you guys are. It looks more like the inside of your freezer.
Darn it. Last time I was in Los Angeles I rented a Prius, by these standards, I can not take credit for doing a good thing. Oh well. Should've went with the hummer... can it take it in the rear? NO! I withdraw the question! Can't believe I went there. I meant like when the driver behind you... never mind. I give up.
Speaking as a former LA resident myself. The reason I am a former resident is there are to many freaking people there. I love the town and have tons of things I loved doing there. It just got to be to much after 42 years. San Diego county ain't that farr behind either.
Now Doug could have rented a Kia instead of a Big Hummer. But don't all men love a Hummer now and then. LOL
wow! AutoZone looks the same everywhere, I had no idea!
80% of LA and Phx are equally unremarkable and look alike. One good thing about the economic crisis in a state that epitomizes all that went wrong...we don't have nearly as much traffic anymore.
Man, does that drive up La Brea bring back memories... (of the traffic and the Jihad and...) - But I know the real reason you made this video was just so you could say "big Hummer" over and over and not have it be flagged.
You should make more vids like this Curt!! You know I know the streets there better than my own here!! lol I have a hollywood legends website. Is that bad?? lol ..
I'm coming to Orange County for a conference this summer, but I have no idea if that's in LA. I'm not sure where LA ends. About 25 miles west of Wyoming?
"...largely indifferent or angry..." That sorta describes me on most days...and the largely part also hints at my overweight condition. Have you ever been in such dire need of coffee for basic brain function that you went to the kitchen and forgot to make it? I just ate 3 servings of yogurt and now I realize what I was supposed to be doing.
I don't think I'll ever go to LA. Then again I said the same thing about going to California in general, but I'm going to San Francisco at the end of this month. I'll finally get an inside perspective of a small part of California.
HA! Too funny. Yeah, CA is flawed - BIG TIME! (have you seen our budget lately? LULZ)
But you'll enjoy San Francisco (don't call it "Sanfran" otherwise the natives will freak). And since my plans changed, I'll be going too. So I'll see ya there!
I went to LA once, I stayed in that hotel that Arnie used in True Lies, compared to San Fransisco I found it a scary place (but I am a small country boy!)
I thought it was an unspoken rule of etiquette that you're not *supposed* to honk in LA unless you must, to avoid an accident. LOL Guess whoever said that was wrong!
